The 1919 date refers to the year when the Treaty of Versailles was signed. This was the peace treaty drawn up by the nations who attended the Paris Peace Conference and officially ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers when it was signed on 28th June 1919.
The monument cost a total of £750 and was built by John Charles Langford of Fareham, to a design by Norman Henry Atkins and his brother, Edgar Everard Atkins. There were initially 200 names. An appeal for names from the 1939-45 conflict was made during 1954. Further plaques were added to include these. Today the memorial shows a total of 414* names.
Please note that whilst every effort has been made to check the details on this page, the web designer / researcher cannot be held responsible for any errors that may have arisen. Although the War Memorial is adjacent to Holy Trinity church, we do not have any records about the individuals mentioned on the memorial itself. If any of this information is used, then I would request that this web page is referenced. A lot of time, money and hard work has gone in to producing this resource.
This is a work in progress with updates occurring on a regular basis. A number of additions have been made to the memorial itself. This list details all enscriptions up to July 2020*.
