Shildon Roll of Honour 1914-18 Shildon Wagon Works

   

Plaque 1

   

   1914-18

   In honour

   of those who served

   Shildon Wagon Works

   

   In 1914 the Great War started and men from all walks of life

   put down their tools to join many branches of the military,

   including the Durham Light Infantry, Royal Medical Corp and

   The Royal Engineers.

   

   The North Eastern Railway kept a ledger including employees

   at Shildon Wagon Works who left to serve in the war.

   

   536 men had their names entered in to this ledger and it is 

   these men named here. Of these 79 would not return home.

   

   Throughout the war railways played a dramatic role in the

   logistics and scale of troop movements into and around Europe.

  

   Railwaymen and women up and down the country kept the

   troops, equipment and supplies moving efficiently to the

   front line.

   

   For this reason, many of the men from Shildon Wagon Works

   could not leave their roles in the workshop.

   

   Over 1000 skilled men continued in their roles as blacksmiths,

   wagon builders, brake fitters, painters, millwrights, 

   carpenters, turners, toolmakers, riveters and many others.

   

   This memorial is also in recognition of the skilled men who

   remained in service at Shildon Wagon Works, continuing the

   supply of wagons and goods vehicles needed for the war effort.
