Arthur Stamp has no known grave and should have been listed on the memorial at Thiepval, but was somehow overlooked. Names have been added over the years to the Thiepval memorial, but this has now been declared “full” and his name cannot be added. Instead his name has been recorded in the “France 1914-18” virtual memorial which has been created until a new stone memorial can be created to accommodate the names of men whose existence has only emerged in recent times.
Soldiers Died in the Great War states that Arthur Stamp was born in New Herrington, enlisted at Shiney Row and was resident in Fence Houses.
Arthur Stamp is remembered at Herrington on H137.06
