World War One (overlooked or deleted)
|
When the Great War ended there was much confusion about war memorials and here, the various hamlets, Beck Row, West Row etc went their own way and decided to
have their own memorials. The Mildenhall memorial originally appears to take into account that these hamlets had no separate civil authority parishes and all came under the banner heading of the parish of Mildenhall, hence the many duplications. Better that, than being totally forgotten. Quite a number of names occur on Mildenhall and West Row memorials, Mildenhall and Beck Row, some on more than two. But then after WW2, twenty nine names were removed from the Mildenhall memorial Several other men who seem to qualify for inclusion on the memorial in Mildenhall seem to have been missed altogether. No one has ever found documentary evidence of how it was decided who should be remembered on these memorials. Having covered over 100 different memorials I am none the wiser After some extra searching, these men here have been "found" who seem to fit the inclusion criteria, such as it was, but never found a permanent place on this memorial. If you find another that you feel ought to be included, please let me know, meanwhile this section is still being researched, patience will be required, however many will already be on the Beck Row, West Row or Kenny Hill memorials |

One man, either as James FULLER (his birth name) or MIZEN (his assumed name) was originally on the Mildenhall memorial as J.MIZEN but since removed. He is not found on any other memorial in either name
