Penzance Biographical Book of Remembrance PENZANCE BIOGRAPHICAL BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE “LET THOSE WHO COME AFTER SEE TO IT THAT THEY ARE NOT FORGOTTEN” This biographical record follows on from the Roll of Honour which was presented to Penzance by the Town Council in August 2014 during the celebrations to mark the 400th year since the granting of the charter to the town and the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of The Great War.The Roll of Honour identified approximately 660 men and women who had lost their life from 1899 (Boer War) to the present day. It covered the area of Penzance Borough and the inclusion in 1934 of Gulval, Heamoor, Newlyn, Mousehole and Paul. The Roll of Honour can be seen outside Gallery 5 in Penlee Gallery and Museum but it just gives basic details such as Name, Rank, Unit/Ship etc. and Theatre of Operation. This biographical record gives much more detail but is still incomplete and we need the assistance of everyone to fill in the missing pieces and, of course, to correct any unintentional errors. This is why we have produced this book in draft and online so that when we go to print it will be as correct as possible and a fitting tribute to those who made the supreme sacrifice. This book is very much a work in progress and we hope that we will, in the end, have a permanent record of those who gave their lives in the cause of freedom. At the moment we have 17 names that we are unable to identify. The information comes from many sources and we are pleased to acknowledge the contribution made by the following: Regimental Museum, Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry, Bodmin Cornishman Newspaper Bartlett Library, National Maritime Museum, Falmouth Morrab Library, Morrab Gardens, Penzance Public Library, St John’s Hall, Penzance Cornwall Record Office, Truro Cornwall Family History Society, Truro Cornish Studies Library, Redruth Commonwealth War Grave Commission Naval & Military Press 1 Special thanks go to Major Bob Harrison (retired) who has worked tirelessly over many years to compile the information in this book. We are also indebted to the personal accounts and comments from many of the relations and friends of those honoured.

    ON 0UR DOORSTEP I MEMORIAM THE SECOD WORLD WAR 1939 to 1945 HOW THOSE LIVIG I SOME OF THE PARISHES SOUTH OF COLCHESTER, WERE AFFECTED BY WORLD WAR 2 Compiled by E. J. Sparrow Page 1 of 156 ON 0UR DOORSTEP FOREWORD This is a sequel to the book “IF YOU SHED A TEAR” which dealt exclusively with the casualties in World War 1 from a dozen coastal villages on the orth Essex coast between the Colne and Blackwater. The villages involved are~: Abberton, Langenhoe, Fingringhoe, Rowhedge, Peldon: Little and Great Wigborough: Salcott: Tollesbury: Tolleshunt D’Arcy: Tolleshunt Knights and Tolleshunt Major This likewise is a community effort by the families, friends and neighbours of the Fallen so that they may be remembered. In this volume we cover men from the same villages in World War 2, who took up the challenge of this new threat .World War 2 was much closer to home. The German airfields were only 60 miles away and the villages were on the direct flight path to London. As a result our losses include a number of men, who did not serve in uniform but were at sea with the fishing fleet, or the Merchant avy. These men were lost with the vessels operating in what was known as “Bomb Alley” which also took a toll on the Royal avy’s patrol craft, who shepherded convoys up the east coast with its threats from: - mines, dive bombers, e- boats and destroyers. The book is broken into 4 sections dealing with: - The war at sea: the land warfare: the war in the air & on the Home Front THEY WILL OLY DIE IF THEY ARE FORGOTTE.

    20th October 2020 MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF SANCREED PARISH COUNCIL HELD VIRTUALLY VIA ZOOM ON 20TH OCTOBER 2020 AT 7.30PM COUNCILLORS PRESENT Councillors Mr Ian Soulsby (Chairman), Mrs Hilary Harris, Mr Stuart Thomas, Mr Ivor James and Mr Michael Harvey. ALSO PRESENT Mrs Alexis Male (clerk) and seven members of the public, five of whom were candidates for co- option. 21-43 APOLOGIES No apologies were required. However, the clerk explained to councillors that she had missed the apology that had been sent by the then Councillor Sue Freeman for the August meeting and requested that the councillors now considered it. It was agreed to accept the apology. 21-44 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were no declarations of interest. 21-45 PUBLIC SPEAKING • A member of the public gave their objections to Planning Application No PA20/07993. The councillors had received these prior to the meeting so it was unnecessary for him to repeat them but he did point out that there had been a late amendment, the buildings having been turned through one hundred and eighty degrees meaning that the parking now exited onto an unadopted lane which would cause aggravation to the residents living along it. • Councillors were informed by another member of the public that South West Water had agreed to put up signs against overnight camping. However, there was no legal reason not to park there. • Another member of the public requested it be clarified whether apologies given were a reason for not attending a meeting. The Chairman said that this had already been explained but the member of the public wanted it be made clear at the meeting so the clerk told her that an apology was given as a courtesy but that the councillor was still absent.
