Village Green War Memorial

The War Memorial on Tudhoe Village Green commemorates those who fell in the War, but it also lists those from the village who served in the War and were lucky enough to return.  The NW panel, facing into the village, commemorates those who gave their lives.

A link here takes you to the Picture Spennymoor site which lists all the names & has good images of each panel in turn (click where it says NE or so on, next to the names).
The names are presented here in alphabetical order for each panel, which is not how they appear on the Memorials.
Click on each name to visit a page which will show all my information to date.  Be warned, though - very little has been confirmed so far. {Some names are not yet an active link.}

"Erected to the memory of Tudhoe Village Soldiers who have made the great sacrifice."

I'm reluctant to post up details from this section until I know I have some approval from the families concerned - but some military service detail will appear as available to anyone searching online.
All are Privates, unless another rank is noted.
