Great idea Elizabeth! here in Canada, if a community has a cenotaph there is usually a short ceremony on the 11th with the laying of wreaths. If your community doesn't do that - now is the year to get the tradition started.

Edna and list: The local historical Society where Iive is putting on a month long display about the local lads who served in both wars with artifacts brought home by some of them, photos of each one and a short bio for each - nurses included. If anyone out there belongs to an Historical Society, or Genealogical Society - why not stage your own display either for Nov. 11 or for your group's next meeting.

Following on from the thread about the end of WW1, I think war memorials in Britain were set up in rather a hurry after the war ended and that local committees compiled the list of names to be included. This led to some mistakes being made of course. Does anyone know if there are any records retained anywhere about their deliberations? The reason I ask is there is a master stoker on our war memorial we cannot trace to a connection to the village and some of us would love to know why we memorialise him.

My understanding was that there is large Roll of Honour prepared for the fallen of Devon but that it was far from accurate and complete. A colleague in Holsworthy has been researching this and has found quite a number of men who should be on memorials but are missing and work is being done to address this but I am a bit short on detail. As regards accuracy, I know several examples of muddles on the memorials with the wrong brother being recorded as having died. Our memorial in Thornbury records both the living who returned and the dead, and managed to get some of that wrong, as did one in my old village of Diseworth in Leicestershire, which was also in a muddle. In the latter case we had a lot of boys, and they were only boys, on the memorial who had nothing much to do with the village but had been placed there from an Industrial School in Norfolk before the war to learn a trade as farm workers and so they are commemorated there rather than in the places they came from, often London. In some very sad cases they put their landladies down as their next of kin as they had nobody else. Could something like this explain your chap? I found the minutes of the committee that arranged the building of the Thornbury War Memorial in the local record office in Exeter, complete with the invoices from the stone masons and the bill for the lead letters. Always worth a look to see what is there.

A committee was definitely formed here in Silverton, but I have failed to find any minutes from their meetings. Mistakes were made though: a Boer War veteran, a Major, came out of retirement at the age of 54, and was given an administrative role in Ireland, but was retired from this due to ill-health in 1916. He died in March 1917, and his inquest decided his death was due to a fall down the stairs at his home. He was included amongst the names on both village memorials; strange that he happened to be the son of a previous rector. A casualty was also omitted and his name was included a couple of years later after agreement at a parish council meeting. Also a name is included, but after many hours searching I have failed to find any connection with this casualty in Silverton, who he was or how and when he died. His recorded name is William H Dawe, but that is all that is known of him.

Have you tried searching newspapers? Casualties with an association to a village are often mentioned. My grandmother's cousin was employed by the Duke of Bedford and he appears on both the Milton Abbot and the Woburn war memorials. In 1911 he is listed at Endsleigh which at that time was the Duke's fishing and hunting lodge so he may never have actually lived at Woburn. His brother had emigrated to Canada and served in the Canadian forces and he is also on the Milton Abbot war memorial.

I have a book published 1921 called "Soldiers Died in the Great War" - it is one of a series and the author is the War Office "By Authority" - no name! My book covers the Devonshire Regiment - there were 50 of these books, one for each regiment. If you send me the name of your mystery stoker, I can look him up and at least it will say how he died.

Names for memorials would have put forward by family members or others who wished the fallen to be remembered. Without records from the organisning committee, it is not possible to know the criteria that were used. A church local to me had two men who died during training in the UK, and who never went abroad - one is listed on the memorial and the other isn't.

Dear Sher, I don’t have details of that book but I do have two volumes of ‘The Devonshire Regiment 1914-1918’ It was compiled by C.T.Atkinson and first published in 1926.It is a very detailed account of the operations the Devonshire regiment took part in.

Many thanks to Cher and all who have contributed to my question about war memorials. It rather came to what I thought-I shall have to go back to the record office in Barnstaple and ask there-which I should have thought of in the first place! I think the process of asking in the local press is how they went about asking for names in the local area and then found it hard to turn down anyone whose family asked for their son, father, brother to be memorialised. The master stoker is memorialised in Plymouth where they have a large memorial to lost sailors. I have found out more about him, just no link to Atherington! Jon PS can I suggest the thread on Devonshire Regiment and Soldiers Died in the First World war should warrant a new thread or Terry will be making noises . . .

Dear Jon, I've come in on the end of this thread - so I hope I am not repeating something. Has anyone mentioned Todd Gray's excellent book: "Lest Devon Forgets (Service, Sacrifice and the Creation of Great War Memorials)"? Available at http://www.stevensbooks.co.uk/todd_grey_books/ldf.html and presumably through local bookshops on order or there are second hand copies available at Amazon. I say excellent though I haven't read it! My comment is based upon an excellent talk I heard Todd Gray give on the subject on two occasions so assume the content of the book will be likewise. He outlines the different ways different towns or villages reached a decision on a local memorial - there being no prescribed path. Hope this might help you and others. Incidentally the excellent book on Tavistock's Memorial " We Will Remember Them: The Men of Tavistock Who Died in the First World War" by Alex Metler & Gerry Woodcock reveals that one man named on the memorial never died as a war casualty, but abandoning his wife died a good deal later in Canada - if I remember the details correctly!

It rather came to what I thought-I shall have to go back to the record office in Barnstaple and ask there-which I should have thought of in the first place! I think the process of asking in the local press is how they went about asking for names in the local area and then found it hard to turn down anyone whose family asked for their son, father, brother to be memorialised. The master stoker is memorialised in Plymouth where they have a large memorial to lost sailors. I have found out more about him, just no link to Atherington! Jon PS can I suggest the thread on Devonshire Regiment and Soldiers Died in the First World war should warrant a new thread or Terry will be making noises . . .
