This season also heralds the cropping of cob nuts from the tree at the bottom of the garden and it is now a race against the lone squirrel to ensure that he doesn’t get them all!

  • Helmdon's War Memorial Project, 2016
    Helmdon’s War Memorial The Men Behind the Names WEA Helmdon Branch November 2016 | The Men Behind the Names Contents Preface History of the War Memorial Index of Service Records (WWI unless stated otherwise) Edmund John Ayres George Victor Creed Charles Frederick Finch Arthur Oliver Franklin John Thomas Grant Alfred Humphrey Sidney Lines William Merrison William Harold Seckington Charles Arthur John Southam James Tugwood Harry Turnham William Edwin Turnham Frederick John Watson Frank Branson Watts Francis John Winmill Alfred George Humphrey (WWII) The Helmdon Roll of Honour & other Helmdon connections - William John Major - Edward Stanley Strachan Acknowledgements Appendix Memorial Dedication Service Preface Helmdon’s War Memorial - The Men Behind the Names In 2014, the 100th Anniversary of the start of the 1914 -1918 Great War, a group of Helmdon residents decided to research and publish personal details of those servicemen whose names appear on the Helmdon War Memorial. Such was their enthusiasm that the work has expanded into looking at other aspects, notably the Roll of Honour of Old Boys of Helmdon School Who Served in the First World War. First published in 2014, this 2016 update includes newly discovered facts and stories. The most relevant, up-to-date information available has been put together and can be printed off as a booklet. It is to be hoped that it will not only add to the history of Helmdon but that it will go some way to honour the great sacrifice made by those village servicemen. The authors apologise that some entries do not contain as much detail as others; available records are not always fruitful.
