Winfarthing - Great War Militia

It is easy to simply identify the Great War soldiers, sailors and airmen by looking at the memorial or roll of honour for a place and assume that they were only ones with a connection to that place who fought.

There were some anomalies in getting the names of those eligible for inclusion on the original lists, so not all are always named. Some only contain the fallen, excluding those others who fought, some of whom were wounded.

A search was made for all soldiers where there was any connection, however remote, to Winfarthing; over 60 names came to light, and it is all these who hopefully will be listed below, showing what has been found out about them - some there is an abundance of information, some almost nothing.

The symbol indicates the soldier lost his life, either killed in action or later as a direct result of wounds received in battle. Hovering over the symbol will show the date of death. The indicates the soldier was wounded in the line of duty but survived the war, and hovering over the symbol will show the date wounded. The candle shows the man is on the Winfarthing War Memorial. The indicates he was linked to other nearby villages, hovering over the symbol will show the village name, clicking on it will take you to that page if it is available.

It is hoped that this section will be expanded over time. If anyone has any information (especially any photographs) about any of the soldiers named below and are willing to share it, please make contact.
