About this blog

A blog regarding the thousands of entries in the book The County of Warwickshire Roll of Honour 1914-2005 - Volume 1 South Warwickshire by Kenneth Fowler.
First published by Able Publishing.

Here we will list errors that we believe we have found and the details of the Men of WW1 which the researchers at the time could not find. Since publication nearly 20 years ago numerous new records have become available online.

We also found that the book had a tendency to fit the "wrong man into the right hole" using CWGC records when often the man had not been given a CWGC grave but we found his death using local death records.

Wrong Man Identified - Lapworth WM - George White

The Roll of Honour book identifies George White, named on both Memorial sites at Lapworth, as Private 1892 George White who served with the Lancashire Fusiliers as a drummer and who died on 1st July 1916. However it is clear that this soldier was born, raised and enlisted in Blackheath, London with no known connection to Lapworth. Our research led us to Pension Cards and Medal Rolls for Pte 303082 George White of the 1st/7th Lancashire Fusiliers (formerly Pte 241727 2nd/5th Royal Warwicks)
