We have been travelling around Duddington and the surrounding area – research genealogical information for the local surname “Wyles“. Whilst carrying-out this vital historical investigation – we decided to gather data pertaining to the often forgotten War Memorials and Rolls of Honour. We include four such projects that we have completed this week (we are thinking of extending this to any area we find old Churches containing War Memorials).
Duddington War Memorials – WWI & WWII
King’s Cliffe War Memorials – St James & All Saints Church
Rockingham St Leonard’s Church WWI & WWII War Memorials
St Peter’s Church – Deene & Deenethorpe Parishes – War Memorials
By carefully reading through and digitalising this material – those who are seeking their own relatives might well be able to locate the relevant individuals via accessing a search-engine. Furthermore, we hope the Imperial War Museum will take notice of this work – although the IWM might well already possess such details in the records. The Deene WWII Rol of Honour mentions at least four local women who served in WWII. During WWI, a local Deene man fought in the short-lived Royal Navy Air Service (as elite force founded in 1914 and integrated into the newly established “Royal Airforce” in 1918″) – this is the same Unit that my Great Grandfather – Archibald Wyles – served in during WWI – between 1917-1919.
