The War Memorials at Folkingham (St Andrew) have now been recorded. There are three, a WW1 Roll of Honour, a WW1 Memorial and a WW2 Roll of Service which includes one man killed. The Roll of Honour is hand written and includes some indication as to 'Wounded', 'Killed in action' etc and I have indicated this alongside the name. Some names have been crudely crossed through but there is no indication as to why this was done. Please note the discrepancy between the Roll and the Memorial re Creswell and Gresswell. There is only one indication of rank, 2 indications of awards and 8 indications of arms of service, all on the actual memorial. Dedication - Roll of Honour. Pray for those who have gone from this parish to serve our King and Country by land and sea and air. Folkingham 1914 - 1919. Our Roll of Honour.

I came acoss this forum today and found the name of my grandfather on the Roll of Honour. Is the original roll something I would be able to see if I visited Folkingham? Kate: Hi Jean. I have emailed Michael to see if the oringinal roll is available to view. Hope he replies - it some years since he furnished this information to me. I will post any info he sends. I have just googled Folkingham War Memorial and came up with Michael's site http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Xm4sDHsjBsYJ:www.roll-of-honour.com/Lincolnshire/Folkingham.html+folkingham+st+andrew&cd=15&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&source=www.google.co.uk Jean - I emailed Michael and he posted the following reply. I have emailed you Michael's email address. Hi Kate, Yes, the roll is in the church (although I can't remember if the church was one that was habitually open, or if I had to start the long, long hunt for a keyholder). If you wish you can point the lady at me and she can have a photo (assuming she doesn't live nearby and can't visit easily). Mike.. |
