This
page details the individual counties and the memorials that
appear here for each. There are also overseas memorial and Rolls
of Honour. From the main section there are also several searchable
memorials available. Use the Google search to find specific
information on these pages. The UK
National Inventory of War Memorials lists each individual
plaque within a church as a single memorial, the pages here
may assume one memorial but this usually encompasses these.
Memorials can ne town/village memorials, church memorials, school
or work place memorials, individual plaques and corporate memorials
the range is immense. The criteria for inclusion on a war memorial
was set by the memorial committee and the reasons why men were
included or excluded is now lost with their records. A man could
be included on a memorial because he was born, resident, attended
school or worked there or that his next-of-kin lived there,
or didn't live there in the case of exclusion. To find the reasons
why people were included you need to search out the minutes
of the memorial committe meetings and local newspapers of the
time.
Memorials
range from the Napoleonic Wars, through the wars involving the
Empire, the Boer War and other small wars to World War 1, the
Great War, through to World War 2 and onwards through Palestine,
Suez, Malaya, Aden, Mau Mau, Northern Ireland, the Falkland
Isnalds and through to Iraq and Afghanistan.
