Gunner Horner seems to be the only man on the Tudhoe Memorial who fell during WW II.

Notes from the NEWMP pages about Tudhoe:
Examination of the memorials file at Spennymoor Town Council produced correspondence from the family of A D Horner which initially sought the inclusion of his name on the Tudhoe Memorial and, after that had been completed, seeking a correction to the entry in that the CWGC records show:

Arthur Douglas Horner / Gunner / 946638 / 53 Heavy Field Regt., Royal Artillery / who died on / Friday 27 October 1944. Age 24. He is buried in Grave No.I.E.5 in Overloon War Cemetery.

The Town Council have added the name to the memorial, where he is shown as “Private”. It would appear that Gnr Horner may be the only Tudhoe resident killed in WW2.
