War Memorials – Coleshill

The WWI war memorial is just a few metres north of the church. The inscription reads:

In memory of the men of this parish who gave their lives in the Great War. 

The inscription is almost identical for those who died in WWII. The war memorial is a Grade II listed building. Fifty-five men died in WWI and sixteen died in WWII.

Simon Toon of ST-IT Ltd has created a database of Coleshill veterans. You can add to this database if you have any information. Individual records and images can be viewed for free. Currently there are 110 entries on the Coleshill Roll of Honour.

Needs photos and Excel sheet (which I have not done yet!) And please check the Simon Toon link. I just copied that from my Coleshill booklet.
