The missing name cut into the Shoreham stone that erased him
In this episode, we follow the life and military record that led to a blank on a local memorial and a government pardon decades later. We trace the decisions, documents and battlefield chaos that shaped Thomas James Highgate - and ask how an army made him and then marked him absent.
Person: Thomas James Highgate
Date: born 13 May 1895; executed 35 days into Battalion War I; enlisted 4 February 1913; shipped to France 15 August 1914
Location: Shoreham, Kent; First Battalion, Royal West Kents; France (Battle of Mons)
Status: pardoned in 2006; name omitted from memorial stone
- Enlisted at 17 and served before the war in sea voyages and African postings that included two shipwrecks and yellow fever.
- A Richmond Barracks memorandum noted a “peculiar disposition” and episodes of memory loss that entered his file.
- Deserted for several months in 1914 to try to be stationed nearer his brother, was caught, jailed 42 days, and returned to service.
- Sent to the Western Front three weeks after war began; arrived amid the chaotic retreat from Mons with breakdowns in discipline and mass casualties.
- Arrested in civilian clothes miles from his regiment on 6 September 1914, tried that same day without a prisoner’s friend and executed after a 45‑minute trial.
