Steve20y Posted 6 May , 2017 Share Posted 6 May , 2017 Hi, can anybody direct me to a complete and comprehensive list of civilians, soldiers and sailors who were killed or subsequently died as a direct result of the German naval bombardment of Hartlepool on 16 December 1914. Also the same direction please for photographs of the main Hartlepool War Memorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clk Posted 6 May , 2017 Share Posted 6 May , 2017 Hi Steve, I don't know about being complete and comprehensive but there is this from the Newcastle Daily Journal of 18th December 1914. It might be worth looking in subsequent editions to see if further names are mentioned. Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonbem Posted 6 May , 2017 Share Posted 6 May , 2017 I just searched "Hartlepool War Memorial" on Google, then went to images, and then the pages linked to images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonbem Posted 6 May , 2017 Share Posted 6 May , 2017 it's a search trick that can often find more than just text searches as people index things differently for images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaySearching Posted 6 May , 2017 Share Posted 6 May , 2017 The Bombardment of the Hartlepool's has been researched many times before I understand several books have been written on the subject Here is a list of the casualties Not forgetting that many died long after of injury's sustained during the bombardment Ray A search of this forum should bring up a few threads on the subject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve20y Posted 6 May , 2017 Author Share Posted 6 May , 2017 Are the names on the memorial clearly visible? Many thanks Ray Searching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobL Posted 6 September , 2017 Share Posted 6 September , 2017 One problem is that the total seems to keep differing based on research, the curator of the Museum of Hartlepool keeps finding new possible leads for casualties, but the 2014 memorial (not 2016) list of names was compiled by himself based on his latest information at the time. I was at the unveiling, it's a very nice memorial, the memorial, original memorial, Heugh Battery etc are worth a visit, especially by train as West Hartlepool station still shows the repair work where a German shell smacked through it in 1914 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
