This week I have added Cann War Memorial to the site. The memorial itself actually now sits in Shaftesbury, just outside of Shaftesbury School. It is not clear if this is the original site of the memorial or not.
Curiously, the memorial actually has another memorial attached to it, from the village of Kington Magna, around 7 miles away. I will cover this as a separate memorial page for Kington Magna in due course.
As usual, I have added only basic biographical details to start with, as I have always believed it’s better to have a little on everyone, rather than a large amount on only a few. I will of course update and add further details in time.
This memorial itself was relatively easy to research, as it gives christian names and regiments/units.
The Cann War Memorial can now be viewed on the site via the link.
