Abstract
Two memorials – for the Royal Institute of Chemistry and the Chemical Society – are located in the headquarters of the Royal Society of Chemistry at Burlington House, London, commemorating fellows, associates and students who died during the First World War. The majority of them died in active service, but others such as Edward Harrison – responsible for developing respirators used by the Allies against gas attacks – didnot; Harrison fell victim to Spanish flu a week before the Armistice was signed. In this chapter Freemantle investigates the life and achievements of several of the people listed on the memorials within the Royal Society of Chemistry.
