Notes

1. According to Shields Daily News 26/02/1921, 150 employees had joined up, of whom 14 had died. There are about 400 employees. There are some discrepancies with the information on this memorial, which leads to the suspicion that there might be two, one for the Cabinet Works, and one for the Clothing Factory. Alternatively, since this memorial twice mentions the dates up to 31st December 1916, another similar memorial might cover the whole or part of the rest of the war. The whereabouts of such another memorial are unknown.
