Ash next Ridley - Parish Information
People
from Ash and Ridley who served in - WWI and WW2
Introduction
In towns and villages
throughout the country there are memorials dedicated to the men and
woman who gave their lives during WWI and WWII. In Ash next Ridley the
memorial lists the names of eight men from WWI and nine men and one
young girl from WWII.
Each November a service
of remembrance is held in memory of those listed. However with the
passage of time, with surviving relatives and friends growing steadily
fewer, the people behind the names on the memorial become even more
remote and impersonal.
The following
webpages are an ongoing effort to try and ensure that those names remain
as real people who once lived, worked and played in the parish. If you
have any details however small about these people and families, please
email us at localhistory@tedconnell.org.uk
Also listed are the
names of those people that served in both Wars and returned.
