Names
Notes
1. John Grainger emails: On the 1st WW names there are two I managed to get on the memorial that were not recorded on the main war memorial, their names are Matthew Middleton and Thomas Euen Nesham. Nesham died after the war but I submitted his death certificate and army record to the CWGC in 2014, and they have added him to their database and the UK Book of Remembrance. He is buried at Jarrow and as there is a private headstone on his grave they will not erect a CWGC headstone but will look after the grave during their normal schedule to ensure it stays a fitting memorial for evermore. In relation to Middleton, he was killed in 1916 and I am unable to find out why he was omitted from the memorial, perhaps his family did not want his name on the memorial, we will never know.
