Anthony Bagshaw Posted 5 January , 2006 Share Posted 5 January , 2006 Bit of a stab in the dark, but does anyone have any photos or names of men commemorated on the Hardingstone War Memorial Northampton? I am looking for William George Stanton in particular. Any help appreciated Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armourersergeant Posted 5 January , 2006 Share Posted 5 January , 2006 I could get to the memorial at some point if no one has anything Anthony, but it may be a few weeks to go in the light due to work regards Arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Bagshaw Posted 5 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 5 January , 2006 Arm, That would be fantastic, thank you. No rush. But thank you! Do you know how good the local paper is for the area in terms of photos or an obituary?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Wills Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Steve, The stone cross is at the road junction, almost opposite no 12 on this map http://www.focusnorthamptonshire.org.uk/Wa...MapFeatureID=40 Anthony, The local press can be quite good. I'll have a look for you when I get a chance. However, as WG Stanton came from Northampton town centre, he is commemorated on the town War Memorial. We should be able to provide you with a shot of that if you wish. In the meantime, here is a inter-war (?) period photo of College Street, Northampton http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...6lr%3D%26sa%3DN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously if you do look in the paper i will refund you any monet you may spend. A photo of the memorial would be great too. Please don't go out of your way though! Thanks again Best Wishes Sorry for the one line answers, bit too early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinWills Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 He is listed as W Stanton (not W G) on the Northampton Town War Memorial but I can confirm that his address was given as 43 College Street when the memorial list was compiled. There was also another W Stanton listed (1st Northants, from 11 Western Terrace). Both were privates. The memorial names are now behind bars (literally) to prevent any abuse of the memorial, but keen visitors can obtain the key from the Borough Council Offices or the local WFA branch or the local RBL. Drop me your email address via PM or forum email and I will send you a pic of the two Stanton names as they appear and a general view of the memorial.

grantham Posted 4 August , 2018 Share Posted 4 August , 2018 Anthony Just going back through old messages in this forum and am researching (for a centennial exhibition in September this year) Hardingstone War Memorial soldiers. We have two Stantons on our memorial - Albert and Ernest - possibly related to your William George? Have you had any more luck in your research in the intervening years? Regards.
