Robert Dale Posted 27 July , 2009 Share Posted 27 July , 2009 There are several women's names on the Heacham Social Club memorial - but that includes all those from the village who served, not just those who fell (who are also remembered on the memorial at St Mary's). All of the women named on the Social Club Board (which can be seen here ) survived. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickcobb Posted 31 October , 2009 Share Posted 31 October , 2009 I know of two: Edith Cavell at Swardeston and Susannah Hall at Reedham. Does anyone know of other women who are commemorated on Norfolk Memorials? Hi, My Aunt, Gladys Helen Cobb was with the QMAAC, attached to the RE at Richborough Port. She died on 12th Feb 1919 at Stonar Camp [Richborough] Hospital of influenza and toxic jaundice. She is on the Gaywood war memorial. I have her death penny.

Jim Strawbridge Posted 1 November , 2009 Share Posted 1 November , 2009 Hi, My Aunt, Gladys Helen Cobb was with the QMAAC, attached to the RE at Richborough Port. She died on 12th Feb 1919 at Stonar Camp [Richborough] Hospital of influenza and toxic jaundice. She is on the Gaywood war memorial. I have her death penny. Glady's mother gloried in the wonderful name of Kerenhappuck Cobb - a bible name. Nick I have some information on your aunt and would be pleased if you got in touch (jimstrawbridge AT coinsale.fsnet.co.uk). Until you have 10 postings communication through the message servicing on this site is limited. LATER - just to round off my comment I am now in direct contact with Nick.
