The war memorial in Roxby is the church clock which was renovated last year. It was installed in 1921 in memory of those from Roxby who fought in WW1 and also commemorates those who gave their lives.
Parish councillor, Charlie Webster, is researching the background of those who are named on the war memorial and he is particularly keen to identify if there are others who have been missed.
Names on the memorial are:
WW1 - Harold Burton, Arthur Collingwood, Sydney Markham, Tom Rowell, Albert Barley, Osborne Barnes, George Cartledge, Arthur Markham, Ernest and Arthur Gravell.
WW2 - Fred Barnes.
Since starting his research, Charlie has been made aware of six other men who were born in Roxby, but were living in other villages when they enlisted during WW1: John Boon, Harry John Birkett, John Martin, Harry Lancelot Mason, Harry Smith and Edwin Welton.
If anyone has any information or photos of the above men contact Charlie on 733379 or email [email protected]
