Wateringbury’s two WWI memorials project
To commemorate the centenary of the start of WWI in 1914, I compiled two A5 booklets for Wateringbury church, with a short military and family biography of each man who is commemorated on one or both of Wateringbury's war memorials. One booklet includes men who gave their lives and are commemorated on the 1914-1918 memorial board in the Chapel of St George in St John the Baptist church, Wateringbury. The second booklet includes all pupils of the old Wateringbury school who gave their lives and are commemorated on the centre panel, Roll of Honour, of the old school memorial which now hangs in the church vestry. The school War Memorial has five tall panels. The centre panel is the Roll of Honour, with two tall panels either side for returning servicemen. The two small outer panels are reserved for those men who gave their lives in WWII. For the 2018 celebrations for the end of WWI, I compiled a larger book which not only included men who gave their lives, but also all the 213 men who served in the war but returned home. Unfortunately, there is far less available information for returning servicemen than for those who were killed, and though I have short personal details and the force in which they served for the majority of servicemen, I still haven't completed my project for all men, as information just isn't available. I have listed below all men who are named on both the Wateringbury school memorial as well as the memorial board in the Chapel of St George. Family names are in alphebetical order, but brothers are coloured in blue or red for easier identification and are listed eldest first. I would be grateful if you have information for any of those named, or, if you would like to see the entry for one of your relatives, please complete the form on the Contact page. You can see the title and introductory pages of the book here. Click here to see an example entry.
