  • The Middlesbrough Roll of Honour of the Great War Names “C”
    Names on the Middlesbrough War Memorial The Middlesbrough Roll of Honour of the Great War Names “C” Compiled by Robert Coulson (1952 – 2008) In the years 1914-1918 thousands of Middlesbrough men and women served their country in a time of hardship, stress and suffering both for the troops on the battlefronts and those left at home. After the Armistice in November of 1918 handsome memorial tablets and plaques recalling the fallen were erected in the works, shops and churches of the Middlesbrough area. At this time a committee was formed to consider the question of a war memorial for the town as a whole to remember the citizens who had laid down their lives. In the words of the committee, “We recognise the splendid sacrifice made by our men and we desire that our children and our children’s’ children should hear the story and share in the inspiration which such sacrifice will always give”. The response of the townspeople resulted in the fine cenotaph of Aberdeen granite and the wall of Portland stone containing the bronze panels with the names of the fallen that we see today at the entrance to Albert Park. The memorial works were completed at a cost of approximately £17,000 and the people of the town attended in their thousands for the dedication and unveiling ceremony which took place on November 11th 1922. This roll of honour contains close to 3500 names of the fallen who are remembered on the memorial and also those whose names were put forward by their families after the unveiling ceremony.

    A sailor’s life – 47. In remembrance « Lost at sea Page 1 of 9 Lost at sea Tales my grandfather would have told me. A sailor's life 1910-1941 A sailor’s life – 47. In remembrance with 2 comments Panel for the oil tanker Chama, Tower Hill memorial, London The last fighting Tommy of the first war is dead, at 111. The last RN is 109, deaf and blind. Now trips to the beaches at Dunkirk too are thinning. Every Christmas another card fails to appear. One by one, the voices who have told me their stories over the past fifteen years fall silent. On Tower Hill in London every September and November, wreaths appear in the sunken garden that is the merchant navy memorial. Here are commemorated – ship by sunken ship – the thousands of British merchant seamen lost in the second world war who “have no grave but the sea,” as the stone inscription reads. The brass panels with the names ripple round the walls, punctuated by allegorical figures of the seven seas and frisking dolphins. It is a tranquil and strangely happy memorial, alive and visited. On a sunny day it is like stepping down into a swimming pool. Traffic noises recede overhead. Peace closes around you. Often there are single poppies, stickytaped beside a name. Or little wooden crosses and stars of David, left by relatives. http://monkbarns.wordpress.com/2010/11/14/a-sailors-life-47-in-remembrance/ 5-3-2011 A sailor’s life – 47.

  • Summary of Research Into the St James Parish War Memorial
    St James Parish War Memorial The memorial is located in the south porch of the church and is dedicated to 10 Navy personnel and 99 Army personnel. The inscription above the names reads: ‘TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THIS CHURCH AND PARISH WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN THE GREAT WAR’ This document is intended to be a companion to the individual records of the service men who are remembered on St James Parish WW1 memorial. A group of volunteers investigated each of the names on the memorial and recorded the information they found. We were unable to confirm findings on all of the names, and much information has not been found about the backgrounds of those we did trace. However, a substantial amount of information has been found and recorded and we hope this will be useful to those interested in WW1 and in the lives of the men on the memorial and indeed their families. Details of the information found on each of the men commemorated can be found by going to our website www.stjamespriory.org.uk/ and clicking on history and going to family history research. If you have any information on the individuals commemorated on the memorials or have any questions about the information gathered to date, please contact: [email protected] MILITARY LIFE Age of those remembered The youngest to die were three, 18 year old young men; William Bryant, a private in the Dorset Regiment who died on the Somme, John Henry Daley a private in the Royal Fusiliers, and Henry Gilbert Edmondson a private in the Royal Army Medical Corps.
