War Memorials - Forcett

The War Memorial at Forcett is the lych gate leading from the roadside to the path to the church door.

The road is the B6274 Richmond to Winston road which is fairly busy as a rural road so holding the Act of Remembrance there in recent years has proved a little dangerous and difficult.

The names of those from the parish who fell in the the Great War 1914 - 18 are recorded on the right hand plaque, the dedication id on the left hand side and reads:

 

TO
THE MEMORY
OF THE MEN
FROM THIS PARISH
WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
FOR KING AND COUNTRY
IN THE
GREAT WAR
1914 - 1918

 

 

 

The names listed  are those of:

Lieut William Jameson

Pte William Banks

Pte George Clement

Pte Harry Coates

Pte Richard Etherington

Pte George Jameson

Pte Fred Lever

Pte Aaron Parkin

Pte Roland Swann

No names are recorded for Forcett for the 1939 - 1945 World War II.

We trust that this means that no lives from the parish were lost in that conflict.
