Mark Hedden of Halsbury Barton, who died in East Leeds Hospital from wounds (possibly the Battle of the Selle, 17th - 25th Oct. 1918). He saw service in Salonika, Palestine and France, and was wounded on Oct. 16th last. The coffin was covered with a Union Jack and bore the inscription “Pte. Mark Heddon, 2883 D Co., 2nd Royal Dublin Fusiliers. Died Nov. 13th aged 31.” He left two children, John, b Sept. ¼ 1914, and Mary J., b March ¼ 1917. ------------------------------------------------------ LEE, Richard: Only son and surviving child of Richard and Eliza of Dundridge.

In the Exeter and Plymouth Gazette of 8th Feb. 1918: “The funeral of Trooper R. Lee was very largely attended.” The 3rd/1st RND Hussars do not appear to have served overseas and were disbanded in early 1917. ------------------------------------------------------ PARR, Albert: b 1891 Son of James and Louisa of Northway Farm. Served in Central Ontario Regt, Canadian Infantry, 58th Battalion, which was part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in France, which arrived in France in February 1916. He may well have emigrated to Canada after the 1901 census and joined the Central Ontario Regt. It fought in Sept. 1918 in the Battle of the Canal du Nord. He died 4th Oct. 1918. Buried in Parkham. ------------------------------------------------------ ROWE, Frank: (Added later to the war memorial and not marked as FH on the commemorative photograph) Son of Thomas and Bessie Rowe, living in Parkgam 1901. Working for Giles George, Cabbacott, as a waggoner 1911. 10th Battalion, Devonshire Regt. The 10th Bttn. Was attached to the 79th Brig. Division and sent to Salonika. It served on the Serbian/Bulgarian border and the Division was disbanded by May 1919. The Division suffered 8,000 casualties, a large number of which died of disease. He married Annie Brock in Bideford in the March ¼ of 1916. They had Thomas, b Sept. ¼ 1916. He died on 3rd Nov. 1919 and is buried at Haidar Pasha Cemetery, Istanbul. ------------------------------------------------------ SANDERS, H: (This soldier is recoded on the commemorative photograph as being Pte. H. Sanders). HS (Home Service) 51m 22d FH. He is wearing the same uniform and bears quite a strong resemblance to L/Cpl. Leonard Sanders (see below) and if these are brothers, then I can find no record of H. Sanders, who should be Henry. There is an H.C. Sanders who was in the 16th Battalion, Devonshire Regiment (Royal North Devon Yeomanry etc.) but he is commemorated on the Jerusalem war memorial, his date of death was 16th Nov. 1917. There is also a Harry Sanders who was in the 8th Cadet Wing of the Royal Air Force and the son of James and Emily Sanders of Bucks Mills. This latter should be Henry/Harry, but the uniform is not RFC/RAF. This Harry died 8th March 1919 and is buried at St. Anne’s, Bucks Mills. Of the two, the RAF Cadet d 1919 would seem to fit the 51m 22d of the H. Sanders on the photograph. ------------------------------------------------------ SANDERS, Leonard: Son of James and Emily Sanders of Bucks Mills. Born 1895, he was successively in the Royal North Devon Hussars, the Devonshire Regiment, the South Wales Borderers, and the 5th Battalion, Connaught Rangers. The Rangers were with the 66th Division at the end of the war and at the Battle of Le Cateau. He was killed on 9th November 1918, two days short of the Armistice, and was awarded the Victory Medal and British War Medal. ------------------------------------------------------ SANDERS, William Albert: Son of Tom and Matilda Sanders, farmer and baker of Kerswell, Parkham.
