    1. Re: [GREATWAR] WW1 memorials: some basic questions?

    3. As given by others, a committee decided who was on a MEMORIAL. 2. With regard to Stoke Climsland there are three CWGC graves there, 2 WW1 and 1 WW2. If not on the Memorial they probably didn't come from Stoke Climsland.: The same occurs in my local churchyard with men who died at the local training camp but were not locals. 3. Some graves in the Churchyard list men who died and are buried overseas in CWGC graves. Try putting some of the names into CWGC and see if they are really buried in the ' Family plot ' in Stoke Climsland. The men in the graveyard are below of whom only HARRY SEARLE would qualify as Stoke Climsland.
