  • First World War (1914-1918)

About the memorial: A brown coloured panel with Regimental badges at top and list of names collected from an original 8 separate plaques. It is unclear if 6 of these were natural deaths or deaths in service, but the two 1916 deaths are confirmed to be WW1 deaths. However John Frederick Nicholls died aged 65, Louis Warden died aged 51 in London and Robert F Guy died aged 48 at Bristol. The 1879, 1907 and 3 x 1910 deaths would therefore seem to have been on overseas service/campaigns- the 1879 death almost certainly happening in the Zulu Wars which the Wiltshire Regiment are known to have been at
