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. |
