- Chronicling two men for sure - the man with the very Cornish surname - R A Nankervis, and the slightly mysterious H A Bray . Maybe one more, see how it goes.
- I will be adding links from my The Men page to the relevant post so that visitors can quickly see who I have posted about and find them more easily.
- Adding to the Useful Stuff page.
- I will be telephoning our local vicar to ask if I may photograph inside the church - I checked the UK Inventory of War Memorials and found that 84 of "my" chaps are commemorated on a plaque inside - they were all parishioners. There is also an individual plaque for R A Nankervis and various other memorials for servicemen. Hopefully I will be able to share any names and photographs with for The Fallen.
- I am interested in finding out more about the memorial itself - I know that its position was controversial at the time it was built and that some protested against it being erected. If I have time I may contact the Town Council and Old Newquay Society to find out if they have any further information.
Newquay War Memorial lists 89 men from the town who died in WW1. Here are their stories - Lest We Forget
