The High Country History Group is
preparing a book to commemorate the beginning of the First World War with a
comprehensive record of those who died and are remembered from the four
parishes of Greensted, Stanford Rivers, Stapleford Tawney and Theydon Mount.
Martyn Lockwood, its author,
would be interested to hear from relatives, especially if photographs survive,
of those listed below.
The memorial to those who died in
both wars is situated on the south wall of the nave of St Michael’s
church. In addition there are two
Commonwealth war graves in the churchyard (2nd World War).
There is also a wooden board in
the nave giving the names of old boys of Theydon Mount school who fought in
1914-1918.
Those named on the War Memorial
are:
-
John Coller
-
Walter George Freshwater
-
Hugh Meikle Miller
-
Henry Joseph Perry
-
Frederick Town
-
Thomas William Ward
-
Stanley Thomas West
-
James Bushnell
The Roll of Honour reads:
Roll of Honour / To
Commemorate / the names of the men / of this parish / and Old Boys of this
School / who fought for / England and Liberty / in the Great War 1914 – 1918.
