CATSFIELD ROLL OF HONOUR AND WAR MEMORIAL

World War 1 & 2 - Roll of Honour with detailed information
Compiled and copyright © Transcribed Janet Graves; Researched Chris Comber 2004

The war memorial stands in the grounds of the parish church of St Lawrence listing the men from World War 1 and 2. Inside the church is a handwritten roll of honour listing those from the parish who served in World War 1 and a book of remembrance to those who died in World War 2. Not all on the memorial appear on the roll of honour and visa versa. Those who died and are listed on the roll of honour are annotated 'R', those on the church memorial '+'. The men who served and died in World War 2 appear on both the memorial and in the book of remembrance but are still annotated in the same way.

Extract from Bexhill-on-Sea Chronicle - Saturday 12 December 1914, page 4:

LOCAL ATHLETE KILLED IN ACTION.

Our sympathies will go out this week to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Honneysett, of Normanhurst Stables, who have received official notice from the War Office that their son, Driver F. W. Hoonneysett, Royal Horse Artillery (43968), has been killed in action. The gallant lad had enlisted in 1907 and has served for the past six years in India and Africa. As a runner and sprinter, he was the winner of numerous races, as is shown by the splendid prizes that his parents will always treasure as mementoes of their boy, who laid down his life for his country. Unfortunately, Mrs. Honneysett is suffering from a nervous breakdown. which has been occasioned by worry about her three sons who have been serving the King, one being attached to the Gordon Highlanders, and another in the Navy. Mr. Honneysett sen., was for 32 years coachman and stud-groom to the late Mr. Charles Egerton, of Mountfield Court, and is now in the employment of Lord Hythe.
