On Sunday July 17, (1949), a Memorial service was held in the school hall to commemorate those Old Boys who fell in the last war. During the service, a Memorial tablet, companion to that bearing the names of the Old Boys who fell in the Great War 1914-1918, was unveiled by Chairman of the Governors(E. Kirman esq.) and dedicated by Archdeacon of Lindsey (Venerable E.L. Marsden).
The Grimsby News reported in its July 22nd 1949, edition
“It is a small, but let us hope enduring memorial to let the generations which are to come know that people of England are not ungrateful or unmindful of the men who died for her, so that all that really makes life worth living may be preserved for others who follow after”. 
These were the words of the Archdeacon of Lindsey, when speaking on the occasion of the unveiling and dedication of a bronze memorial tablet at Humberstone Foundation School on Sunday, in honour of 54 old boys who gave their lives in the last war.

The current memorial has been removed from the school premises and held in store by North East Lincolnshire Council at Knoll Street, whilst they decided  on where they are going to display it along with the memorial for the First World War already listed on this website.

Trawler's Battle with U-Boat - LONDON, Tuesday.-The trawler, H.M.S. Lord Nuffield, had a thrilling battle recently off North Africa, and destroyed a more heavily armed and faster Italian submarine. The trawler 'detected the submarine, and was preparing to attack, when the crew were astonished to See a periscope appear a few yards away. The sub marine crew was more astonished, and crash-dived, in an attempt to escape. The trawler forced her to the surface with depth charges, and then began a gun duel. The Italian commander fired a gun himself, attempting, to encourage ,the crew, but the crew panicked. The commander gave the order to abandon ship, and the submarine sank. The crew was picked up. The only casualty on the trawler was one man slightly wounded. The Admiralty announces that the destroyer H.M.S. Fire Drake has been lost with some casualties.

Hood, a 42,100-ton battlecruiser built at Clydebank, Scotland, was completed in March 1920. For more than two decades, she was the World's largest warship and, with her long, low hull and finely balanced silhouette, was to many the embodiment of big-gun era seapower. During her travels in European waters and far away, Hood actively represented Great Britain throughout her career. Her first cruise, in 1920, was to Scandanavia. The next year she went down to Gibraltar and Spain and in 1922 visited Brazil and the West Indies. After a brief call on Denmark and Norway in 1923, Hood was flagship on a eleven-month cruise around the World, accompanied by the smaller battlecruiser Repulse and a number of light cruisers. In 1925, she called on Lisbon to help commemorate Portugal's contributions to navigation and exploration. For ten years after 1925, Hood was assigned to the Royal Navy's Home and Atlantic Fleets, operating primarily around Europe, with a visit to the West Indies in 1932. She served with the Mediterranean Fleet in 1936-39, protecting British interests during the Spanish Civil War. 
Back with the Home Fleet after mid-1939, Hood operated in the North Atlantic and North Sea through the first part of World War II and received minor damage in a German air attack on 26 September 1939, an event that demonstrated the relative ineffectiveness of contemporary anti-aircraft gunfire. 
In June and July 1940, the battlecruiser was in the Mediterranean area. She was flagship during the 3 July Mers-el-Kebir battle, the most dramatic and destructive of several incidents in which the British Navy seized, interned, destroyed or attempted to destroy the warships of their recent ally, France. These acts were undertaken on Government orders to allay fears that the French Navy might fall into German hands. 
Hood spent the remainder of her service operating from Scapa Flow, covering the North Sea and Atlantic from the threat of German surface raiders. She was now elderly, overloaded, and burdened with an inadequate armouring arrangement. However, her great operational value had acted through the 1930s to prevent the Royal Navy from taking her out of service for a badly-needed modernization, and now it was too late. 
In May 1941, HMS Hood (Capt. Ralph Kerr, RN, CBE, with Vice-Admiral Lancelot Ernest Holland, RN, CB onboard) in company with the new battleship Prince HMS Prince of Wales, she was sent out to search for the German battleship Bismarck, which had left Norway with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen for the Atlantic. On the morning of 24 May, the two British capital ships found the enemy to the west of Iceland. In the resulting Battle of the Denmark Strait, one or more of Bismarck's fifteen-inch shells got into Hood's after magazines. They erupted in a massive explosion. The great ship sank very quickly about 260 nautical miles west-south-west of Reykjavik, Iceland in position 63º20'N, 31º50'W with all but three of her large crew, an event that shocked the Royal Navy, the British nation and the entire world. HMS Hood's remains were located and photographed by a British deep sea expedition in July 2001.
