essdee Posted 28 February , 2006 Share Posted 28 February , 2006 Ian Have you had a look at the Channel 4 site? Go to 'History' - 'Not Forgotten'. It allows you to search a database of memorials/names of WW1 soldiers. It says Windsor has 7 memorials, a name search doesn't come up with any Woyen's but quite a few W Fullers's.

Coldstreamer Posted 1 March , 2006 Author Share Posted 1 March , 2006 Hello No I hadnt considered that Interesting that Windsor has so many memorials and sounds promising Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essdee Posted 1 March , 2006 Share Posted 1 March , 2006 Ian I had a proper look at the C4 site and the 7 memorials in Windsor whittle down to 4, the others are Manchester/Belfast. The following should get you to the search page http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/L/lostgeneration I should be working in Windsor on friday, by appointment, so I'll take the camera and see what I can do.

simon2 Posted 2 March , 2006 Share Posted 2 March , 2006 Ian, Poppd into Windsor today. I only had limited time but I did visit a couple of memorials. Sadly no luck with your men. Parish church, High street had names but not yours, Windsor cemetry had no names at all just a memorial. River street was a memorial to the Royal Berkshire Yeomanry but checked names anyway,no luck. You mentioned Kings Road, even though the GG Barracks are along that stretch,I had no luck at all finding a memorial there. I asked 2 policemen,2 locals and 2 locals who lived on Kings Road and none knew of a memorial along that road. Hopefully Stuart will have more luck if not I will be back there next week and can spend more time. Sorry, Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essdee Posted 3 March , 2006 Share Posted 3 March , 2006 Ian That didn't come over too well, Fuller wasn't on it . This is from Windsor Boys School hall. The Headmaster very kindly agreed to let me take a picture of this memorial plaque hanging in the dinning hall. Once again Fullers not on the plaque but it makes an interesting post Eton is on the other side of the river (Thames), he may have used the church on the otherside and be mentioned there. He may have been an Eton boy along with Smelly Thompson, Biffo, Thumper and the rest of the chaps. I wonder if there is a list of Eton boys who served in 14/18?
