War Memorial plaque to Rev Theodore Bayley Hardy VC, DSO, MC at High Bentham in North Yorkshire War memorial plaque and war stone flag to the Rev Theodore Bayley Hardy at High Bentham, a small town on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. Bayley Hardy has the distinction of being the Chaplain to King George V and the most decorated non-combatant of the First World War. Prior to WWI, Rev Hardy was the Headmaster at Bentham Grammar School, when his wife died he enlisted for the military chaplainship on active service. Turned down initially he was eventually accepted serving throughout on the Western Front looking after his boys with his call sign of Its Only Me. His accounts of bravery on the Western Front are the stuff of legend. Sadly he was shot in the thigh whilst assisting to rescue a fellow soldier during the final stages of the war in October 1918 and died of sepsis. He was 54 and apart from Bentham is commemorated at Carlisle Cathedral and the CWGC Military Cemetery at Rouen one the southern sector of the Somme Battlefield. A very brave man. RIP
