Eric’s article on the Great War in the book ‘Clarecastle and Ballyea - Land and People 2’ was an invaluable source of information. Eric also has been a great help to me over the past five years, with priceless information on Clare in WW1 and WW2. If that was not enough, Dr Joe Power, another historian from Clarecastle published his excellent book ‘Clare and the Great War’ in 2015. Clarecastle and Ballyea are very proud of their history, and it is a privilege to write this booklet on its contribution to the Great War. 2 Main Street Clarecastle Michael McMahon: Born in Sixmilebridge, lived in Clarecastle, died of wounds 20th Aug 1917 age 25, Royal Dublin Fusiliers 1st Bn 40124, 29th Div, G/M in Belgium.

  • The Middlesbrough Roll of Honour of the Great War Names “C”

    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.

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

    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.

    Medway Heritage Asset Review 2017 Final Draft: November 2017

    Medway Heritage Asset Review 2017 Final Draft: November 2017 Executive Summary The Medway Heritage Asset Review intends to provide a comprehensive overview of the heritage assets in Medway in order to inform the development of a Heritage Strategy to support the emerging Medway Local Plan 2015. Medway benefits from a rich heritage spanning millennia, underpinning the local distinctiveness and creating a unique and special character that can be readily interpreted through the historic environment. The main report is broken down into sections, initially looking at the topography of Medway and how this influenced human settlement in the area, then looking at the development of the key settlements in Medway; taking into consideration the key drivers for their establishment and identifying existing heritage assets. Furthermore, the main influences to development in the area are also considered; including Chatham Dockyard and the military, the brick, cement and lime industry, agriculture, maritime and religion. Through investigating Medway’s history both geographically and thematically, the significance of heritage assets and the importance of historic landscapes can be readily identified; enabling a better understanding and providing opportunities to enhance their enjoyment. Non-designated heritage assets are also identified using a broad range of sources; providing a deeper knowledge of what shapes the distinct local character experienced in Medway and the how this identity is of great importance to the local community. The report concludes with suggestions for additional areas of research and identifies themes to be considered to inform the development of a coherent and robust Heritage Strategy that will help enhance, understand and celebrate Medway’s heritage for years to come.
