Throughout
Herefordshire there are various memorials
and rolls of honour dedicated to those men and women
who fell in various wars. These memorials and rolls cover
many centuries in some cases, most World War One and Two.
During
any conflict there are certain acts of bravery or defiance
that are noticeable above others. For these acts citations
and medals have been awarded.
If
anybody has information for those of the Second World
War, Boer War, or the like similar to those supplied for
the First World War then I would gladly post these as
well.
Please
Note: Every attempt has been made to transcribe this information
accurately but there are occasions that the information
supplied is incorrect or errors occur during transcription.
We do not wish to cause offence to any families of the
men detailed here and will change the relevant information
when informed.
Also
note that places detailed on these memorials may appear
in the wrong county. This information has been transcribed
from the records given and, as the men were parochial,
the information supplied at enlistment was the view of
the men and the county they thought they resided in.
The
various memorials
and cemeteries maintained by the War Graves Commission
for the Western Front are described and pictured on the
Internet. Details of Kranji War Cemetery and
Taiping can be found in the Overseas
section. |

pages are available for transcripts of these
memorials and rolls of honour. If you have

Some
of the cap badges
are laid out, on a separate page.
Not
all memorials were to people; there are memorials to various
types of animal that served and fell in World War I for
example, dogs. |
