INTRODUCTION
The majority of the family histories below have been researched by Maureen Shaw and typed up by Jann Kirke. They relate to families with Carlton connections who lost husbands/sons in World War 1. The names were taken from the list of soldiers commemorated on a memorial in St. Paul’s Church, Carlton. The memorial is no longer in place – the list was provided by Steve Brown.
The information was taken from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission casualty listings and from the Census. Sometimes information seems to be missing or dates don’t tally - the information below is as it appears on official records.
Census records of this period do not record exact dates of births, marriages and deaths, only the Quarter of the year in which the details are registered. Place of birth is generally given as the district where the birth was registered rather than the actual address, e.g. Basford (Registration District) Nottingham.
The final two histories were researched by Madelaine Flight, sister of our Webmaster, Graeme Bunting.

The final two histories were researched by Madelaine Flight, sister of our Webmaster, Graeme Bunting.
Private George Raymond Pinder:
Graeme Bunting’s great uncle and after whom Graeme’s Dad (George Raymond Bunting) was named. Born in 1893, he enlisted with the Notts and Derby regiment of the Sherwood Foresters.
He died on 10/10/1915 aged 22 years and is buried in plot E1.6 Potijze Ground Cemetery in Belgium. The regiment had moved to the Potijze sector on 4th October 1915. On 5th 11 men were killed and 19 wounded, 2 killed on 6th, 2 on 7th and 1 on 10th. He could have any one of these people.
The Potijze Cemetery in Belgium where George The war memorial on the gates of St Mary’s Raymond Pinder is buried church in Nottingham showing George’s name
The following notice was in the Nottingham Evening Post on 10/10/1924, presumably submitted by his parents:
PINDER – treasured memories of George Raymond Pinder died in action October 10th 1916. Never will his memory fade – loving mother, father, brothers and sisters.

Albert William Bunting Graeme Bunting’s Grandfather. Born: 17/03/1886 in Nottingham.
He enlisted onto the army reserve 25/11/1915 and mobilised 12/10/1916 just five weeks after Graeme’s Dad was born. He was a gunner in the Field Artillery - a gunner is their equivalent of a private. He served twice in France, from January to July 1917 and again March 1918 to February 1919.
As far as is known he wasn’t wounded although family memories say he was gassed but there is no mention of that on his military record. Maybe it was an inconvenience rather that a serious problem or perhaps he was milking sympathy from his family with exaggerated claims. He was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal, as were all surviving serving soldiers.
