The Remembrance Project 2018 The Barnham Broom and Upper Yare Group of Parishes consists of the following Churches & Villages: Wramplingham Barford Barnham Broom Carleton Forehoe Kimberley Hardingham Cranworth Southburgh Letton Reymerston Garvestone Thuxton Whinburgh Westfield Runhall Coston Across the villages there are several war memorials, put up to honour the fallen in WWI, and added to after WWII. As the centenary of the end of WWI approaches in November 2018, there are many events organised within our villages and county. As part of this, in collaboration with other events organised, is a plan to gather together the stories of the lives of the men named on these war memorials, to refresh the memory, and remember the sacrifice they gave so that we could live in the freedom and peace we have today. To do this, volunteers are invited to research one or more names on the attached list of all those named on all of the village memorials, to gather together their stories for publication, and hopefully to enter into memorial books in each of the churches for posterity. We aim to learn from each other as we do this, sharing our findings with others in our community, to create a living memorial. If you wish to take part, please select a name from the list below and research that person using the attached guide to help. If a name is ‘greyed out’ in means it has already been selected for research. Please gather your research together in a short biography of the soldier (approx. 200 words), for publication. Once selected, please let the co-ordinator know so that the name can be marked as being researched. Thank you for your invaluable help in the success of the Remembrance Project Those who served and died within our Parishes in WWI & WWII Name Village Information currently known JONATHON BERRY Cranworth Private JONATHON BERRY 40876, 7th Bn., Norfolk Regiment who died on 20 November 1917.
