Janet Graves Posted 8 March , 2022 Share Posted 8 March , 2022 If anyone can send me photos of War Memorials in Maidstone, including the names listed, I would be very grateful. I can return the favour for anyone who wants photos from Bexhill, Hastings Eastbourne and Pevensey areas. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fremlin Posted 3 April , 2022 Share Posted 3 April , 2022 I have a copy of the second edition of "Maidstone Peace Souvenir", a 34 page hard-cover publication printed and published by the South Eastern Gazette in 1919. It describes itself as "a record of the part played by the County Town of Kent in the Great War, with an account of Armistice Day Celebrations, Thanksgiving Services and Peace Day Festivities." It also has the Rolls of Honour for Maidstone and surrounding villages, and details of the deaths of a number of locals (mainly officers). I am happy to look up any names and/or send any relevant images. The main Maidstone War Memorial in Brenchley Gardens has no names on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Graves Posted 4 April , 2022 Author Share Posted 4 April , 2022 Thank you gor your kind offer of help. George Leswell Richsrdson, Henry George Richardson and possibly John Richardson, though he is not a brother but might be a cousin, I’m still researching him. George and Henry died a few days apart during the first battle of Ypres in 1914. My thanks again, Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fremlin Posted 4 April , 2022 Share Posted 4 April , 2022 If anyone is interested here is an image taken from "Maidstone Peace Souvenir", published by the South Eastern Gazette in 1919. It has the Rolls of Honour for Maidstone and surrounding villages, and details of the deaths of a number of locals (mainly officers). As I said I am happy to look up any names and/or send any relevant images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
