THE UNKNOWN NAMES ON BARRY’S ROLL OF HONOUR FOR THE FIRST WORLD WAR


It was supposed to be the war to end all wars. The First World left millions of people dead, and millions more wounded and scarred forever by the most dreadful conflict the world had yet seen. Hundreds of men from our local area would never return home.


This September the Royal British Legion is organising a Festival of Remembrance at Barry Memorial Hall to commemorate all those who served during the Great War. As part of this event a definitive Roll of Honour book is being compiled by local military historian Dr Jonathan Hicks, the Headteacher of St Cyres School.


Dr Hicks commented, “I have spent over a decade researching the local casualties from both world wars and have discovered hundreds of men who should be on the Roll of Honour. This is an opportunity to produce a definitive Barry Roll of Honour for the Great War and it will include men from all the services, including the Merchant Navy. It will be a single copy book which will be used during the Drumhead Service that we are planning for 22 September. Thereafter, it will be donated to the Memorial Hall for reference and safekeeping, maybe in a local Church.”

Despite his extensive research, there are still a number of names on the Roll of Honour inside Barry Memorial Hall which cannot be traced.


If you are able to identify any of these men, please advise.
