Michael Posted 16 October , 2003 Share Posted 16 October , 2003 Thank you Myrtle. Also Stoker Albert Williamson from Lower Halstow who also died in the Hawke. For whatever reason Albert, you never made it to the village war memorial but you are remembered here shipmate Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted 16 October , 2003 Share Posted 16 October , 2003 Also, ROBERT STOCKELL Boy 1st Class J/25783 H.M.S. "Hawke.” Royal Navy who died on Thursday 15 October 1914 . Age 17. Son of Mrs. Eva Stokell, of 2, Clapham Yard, Northallerton, Yorks. Native of Bedale. I feel slightly ashamed I'm a day late on this one, Robert Stockell is the only sailor on Bedale war memorial and also the youngest of all those commemorated.

Alec McCudden Posted 25 October , 2003 Share Posted 25 October , 2003 Also of 342117 Chief Armourer George Nicklin Died HMS Hawke 15/10/14 From Droitwich in Worcestershire. About as far from the sea as you can get! Nevertheless, there are two Royal Navy names on the WW1 memorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrtle Posted 26 October , 2003 Author Share Posted 26 October , 2003 About as far from the sea as you can get! Alec I have often thought the same (within Wales) about the three Royal Navy men commemorated on The Rhayader Memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
