I am wondering if this soldier is remember is on any of the memorials in Gedling, Notts, Tawton, Ches. or Lawton, Stoke-on-Trent. I am researching everybody that was born in, lived in, enlisted in or died in Larne during the Great War 1914-1921. He is not remembered on the Larne Memorial.

Thanks to a Pal called Eunice I have corrected the information as it seems Tedling does not exist but it should be Gedling.

I was also informed he is remember in a local church War Memorial at, All Hallows Church, Arnold Lane, Gedling, Notts.

Thanks

Hello again Liam, one of the NIH dead also has his name on the Helles Memorial - perhaps you would care to view a photograph of it. See:

Cheers, Gerry

Thanks for the Link, Gerry.

How was Thomas Highfield connected with the NIH. I have him serving and dying in the Royal Irish Rifles, "C" Coy. 6th Battalion. Also that he worked in Glenarm for lord Antrim.

Any extra information is welcome.

Liam,

Perhaps I didn't phrase my posting clearly. It was due to George Gibson's name also being on Helles Memorial, that I thought you may wish to se a photograph of it.

Incidentally, I do not have a listing of names on the Larne Memorial as I thought I may have.

Regards, Gerry

Hi Gerry,

Visit my site and you will find all the names on the Larne Memorial. See Memorials to the Fallen link. It is a temp site and I am slowly adding more names every week. It a case of doing research or entering data, cannot do both, more the pity.
