stephen p nunn Posted 28 May , 2013 Author Share Posted 28 May , 2013 Meeting up with the descendants of Driver Ben Cobey today. Ben was KIA saving the guns at Le Cateau. He wasn't on the Maldon Town War Memorial (even 'though he was born here) but he is on it now! Best regards. SPN Maldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen p nunn Posted 4 August , 2013 Author Share Posted 4 August , 2013 Dear all - I know I have asked many times before, but if any of you know the whereabouts of any medals associated with Maldon and Heybridge casualties I would love to hear from you. Best regards. SPN. Maldon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen p nunn Posted 6 November , 2013 Author Share Posted 6 November , 2013 We are preparing for Remembrance Sunday here in Maldon and the ceremony that will now recognise all of the 248 Maldon and Heybridge lads who lost their lives (including those on the new plaques). The local paper has also agreed to run monthly Great War features next year to remember the town's part in the Great War. Regards.

stephen p nunn Posted 10 November , 2013 Author Share Posted 10 November , 2013 Fantastic turn out at the Maldon Memorial today. I was privileged to be allowed to read The Kohima Epitaph - scary but a great honour. Then went to a service at RFC Stow Maries (ex-37 Squadron HD Station). What a day! Our Maldon and Heybridge Lads have certainly not been forgotten. Regards. SPNMaldon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen p nunn Posted 23 November , 2013 Author Share Posted 23 November , 2013 Hi all. I ask this every so often - in vain hope really - but has anyone seen any Maldon or Heybridge casualty related medals for sale anywhere? All the best.

stephen p nunn Posted 26 January , 2014 Author Share Posted 26 January , 2014 This is the result of all of the research into the Maldon and Heybridge Lads. It wouldn't have happened without the support of my Pals on the Forum. SPN Maldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen p nunn Posted 17 March , 2015 Author Share Posted 17 March , 2015 Really pleased to get our Tower Poppy today. It is dedicated to Ted Last of Maldon (see my signature). He is on the main Maldon Town Memorial and remembered at Arras. Best regards. SPN Maldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 22 May , 2017 Share Posted 22 May , 2017 Sorry to come in years late on this forum. I am researching Arthur John GATWARD who died 8/08/1918 aged 18, he was Single, Parents were Herbert and Eleanor Gatward living in Maldon, Essex. he doesn't appear to be listed on the Maldon war memorial. Just wondering if you have him on your list and why he wouldn't have made the memorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
