Reckitt’s was a long established International company, founded in Hull. It expanded at the outbreak of the WW1 by buying two German companies based in England – Rawlin’s & Son and the Global Metal Polish Company. They employed 4,761 in 1915, which rose 5,609 in 1917. Being Quakers, Reckitt’s was pacifist by nature and its factories, produced non combative war goods, such as Dettol cleaning materials, gas masks, and petrol cans.
The Reckitt magazine of September 1914, reporting on the outbreak of the Great War, said: “Every one of us can help. The call to arms is urgent and our male employees are responding nobly.” A total of 113 Army and Navy reserves, Territorials and Ambulance men immediately joined the fight. When war broke out, 113 Army and Navy reserves, Territorials and Ambulance Men attached to the Royal Army Medical Corps joined the colours. A special Works Company was formed, attached to the 4th Batt. East Yorks. Regiment. Many Reckitt staff voluntarily enlisted following an appeal from Lord Kitchener.
The Reckitt’s Directors decided to supplement the service pay of married men, making up the difference between the Army pay and wages earned at work every week after the men went to the front.
The Dansom Lane Social Hall in Hull was offered to the Voluntary Aid Detachment and became a hospital and many soldiers were quartered in the Hull Reckitt Boys’ Gymnasium.
The Reckitt’s factory hospital, received its’ first patients on the 9th December 1914. The Reckitt’s Voluntary Aid Detachment hospital, was staffed by members of the Reckitt Nursing Division, with James Reckitt appointed as acting commandant. It was Hull’s third hospital, with 45 beds, organised and financed by Mr and Mrs P Reckitt. They had a weekly average of 35 patients during the war. Thirty Two unmarried women worked at the Reckitt’s hospital and served at Air raid Stations. Ten of these were awarded St John Ambulance war Badges. Five additional women served for Air raid duty only. Another four women were accepted for active service as nurses.
This VAD run hospital opened on the 9th December 1914 and closed in January 1919. In the 4 years and 3 months that it was open, the Reckitt’s hospital treated 2,910 patients. Colonel Tatham from the Humber Garrison Medical Service wrote; “the patients who have been there, greatly appreciate the care and kindness bestowed upon them. Many of them have told me, that they were so looked after and received so many little extras and kindnesses, that Reckitts’ was the hospital that men wished to get into if they could.” Sir James Reckitt also billeted a large number of soldiers in their grounds and offered to house a large number of Belgian refugees.
During the war, Reckitt’s provided servicemen with extra pay and gifts. Food parcels were sent every 6-7 weeks and Prisoners of War were adopted. Employees voluntarily contributed £885 to these parcels and packed them in their own time. Employees also contributed £581 to the Lord Mayor of Hull Fund, for Blinded Soldiers, sailors and civilians. A girls Working party was established which during the war made 3,772 sandbags, 1,240 socks, 370 scarves, 200 shirts, 87 belts, 424 mittons, 138 gloves, and 59 helmets. Ninety Six Reckitt’s men exempted from military service due to age volunteered as Special Constables and responded to 49 Air raid calls and eight air raid attacks on Hull. Another sixty three employees enlisted in local voluntary regiments and trained in their own evenings and weekends.
Reckitt’s spent £66,510 on topping up army pay, £8,421 on gifts, £1466 on Christmas parcels, £269 on Prisoner of War parcels and created a Peace Memorial Fund of £10,000 to assist employees and others who had suffered in the war. Reckitt’s also donated another £106,730 to various war Charities. The Company published photographs of many employees serving in ww1 in the staff magazine.
After the war 600 ex servicemen from Reckitt’s were provided tea at the Francis Reckitt Institute, on 8th January 1920. The Company Directors made a gift of £8000 to the ex servicemen. All employees who served in the war were reinstated to their former Reckitts roles, but the problem of disabled soldiers had to be dealt with. The Kingston, Morley Street and Cannister works had 86 disabled ex servicemen, (6.75% of the workforce). Employment of a lighter kind, suitable to individual cases, was found for each man.
By the Armistice 1,100 Reckitt’s employees were serving in the armed forces and 153 had lost their lives. Reckitt’s erected two Memorial tablets and an impressive war memorial in Hull.
As a tribute to those who served in the Great war, Sir James Reckitt commissioned a stunning memorial fountain, sculpted by artist William Aumonier. The Fountain had a striking central figure representing Sacrifice; the dead youth at her feet and the inverted torch emblematic of the sacrifice made by humanity in the Great War. At the corners of the fountain were Cherubs holding dolphins, from whose mouths water pours into the basin below.
The Reckitt’s Memorial was unveiled by Major-General Sir Percy S Wilkinson and dedicated by the Bishop of Hull, Dr Gurdon, on the 3rd November 1921.
A large crowd gathered outside the works of Reckitt’s, in Dansom Lane, and people took to the roofs, sat on walls and watched from the factory windows that had been thrown open to witness the ceremony. The Reckitt company magazine of November 1921, called “Ours“, reported on the ceremony, saying a procession of employees, some war disabled, appointed by their various departments and bearing wreaths, took part and that a continuous procession by the public continued until after dark. Every available space in the vicinity of the monument was occupied by employees of the firm and relatives of the fallen. There were tokens of respect from every department, from the directors to the workroom girls.
The report said of the monument: “It rises in its beauty straight from the heart of factory buildings, an inspiration and an ideal to multitudes of men and women workers whose hurrying feet shall pass it by, but who, in years unborn and now, shall fail not to catch something of its message; as also it is a dedicated shrine where our honoured dead shall be remembered.”
The Reckitt family continued to contribute to Hull’s community. This included building houses in Garden Village, the James Reckitt Library, buying the site of the Ferens Art gallery, contributing to local hospitals, universities and gifting the land which is now the East Hull park.
A total of 1,108 Reckitt employees served from its worldwide workforce in the Great War; 153 employees were killed and 50 per cent of the remainder were wounded or disabled. Reckitt’s produced a 50 page, Remembrance, Roll of Honour 1914-1919, which listed people by name, rank, regiment, unit, department in which they worked, and the date they joined the company. In addition to Kingston Works, Canister Works and Morley Street Works there are listings for Outside Staff, London House, Bluebell House, Liverpool House, Plymouth House and Dublin House. The company was also international a century ago, so there are listings for Australian House, New Zealand House, South African House, New York House, Canadian House, Paris House and Belgium House. Members from Paris House (10 of them), Sydney Office and New Zealand Office are amongst the fallen. French and Belgian staff were among 45 recipients of gallantry awards.
Many of the men lived locally and had joined Reckitt’s as Boys. Most were ordinary ranks, Troopers, Bandsmen, Medics, Riflemen, Gunners, Drivers and Sappers. There are only Five Officers, and Three Sergeants listed. The majority (78 men) served with local East Yorkshire Regiments, including 18 men, who joined the Hull Pals. Other Yorkshire and regional regiments are also represented. Most were soldiers. There are only eight sailors listed. The majority of men (123) were killed between 1916-1918, when conscription was introduced. Their deaths range between 18-45 years, with the average age of death, 26. Twenty of the fallen were Teenagers.
The following 146 men are recorded on the Hull Reckitt War Memorial and on the Reckitt WW1 Boys Club, Roll of Honour, Hull.
