Nailsea WW1 Roll of Honour
The roll of honour has been compiled through research by Peter Wright and is posted here by his kind permission. Many of the names
listed here do not appear on the Christ Church or Holy Trinity war memorials. Peter has sought to include all casualties of WW1 meeting
any of the following conditions:
- Those listed on the war memorials at the Nailsea churches
- Those born in Nailsea, or living at Nailsea at the time of their enlistment
- Those whose families (wives/parents) lived in Nailsea, according to the information held by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission
- Those shown in the national memorial books for each service, or in overseas forces service records as having been born in Nailsea
- Those whose connection to Nailsea has been established by earlier research
Peter has published a book containing biographical and geneological notes on each casualty listed. This is available for purchase for £3.00
in person only from Nailsea Town Council, Nailsea Tithe Barn, Church Lane, Nailsea, North Somerset BS48 4NG. The cost by post within the UK is
£4.25; cheques payable to "N&DLHS" should be sent to N&DLHS c/o Trevor Bowen 15 Goss Close Nailsea North Somerset BS48 2XB. For overseas orders
