Site Update – Sherborne War Memorial Added

Sherborne War Memorial has now been added to the site.

This has taken a considerable amount of time due to the large number of names listed. It has also proved rather difficult to trace some individuals mentioned, with quite a few errors in naming having been identified. 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. Having said that, some individuals presented a large amount of information on only basic searches, so this has been included.

Site Update – Beaminster War Memorial Added

Beaminster War Memorial has now been added to the site.

This has been a slightly different war memorial, due to the fact it lists all those from Beaminster who served, not just the casualties. As usual, I have added only basic biographical details to start with for all the casualties, as I have always believed it’s better to have a little on everyone, rather than a large amount on only a few. I have also begun to fill in the details for those who served and survived. This however is a little more difficult, and very time consuming due to the sheer number listed on the memorial. I will of course update and add further details in time.

Beaminster also has a War Memorial in the church which commemorates the casualties. All of these names are also covered on the memorial wall.
