THOSE SERVING 1915 From the Parish Church
Church Monthly May 1915, compiled by the Vicar, Rev
TF Hobson, listing Leatherhead men serving in HM Forces.
TAKEN, NOT GIVEN The meticulous work by
the late Liam Sumption on the names on the Leatherhead
Town War Memorial was done without benefit of the internet. It
includes some historical background in addition to what he was
able to find in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Liam's research is being checked, updated and added to by Frank
Haslam, working with local researchers, using the
on-line resources now available. Liam's flat in Windfield,
Leatherhead was bought from the Haslams. Liam shared Frank's
interest in military history and gave him some of his
historical manuscripts. Frank edits these pages and is the
L&DLHS Lead on local war memorials.
WWI LISTING A complete listing of
Leatherhead's World War I dead, each linked (where so far
possible) to their name on the Town Memorial and to their CWGC
record which gives their details, their grave location and
cemetery details if they have a grave - or if they have no
grave, the memorial on which they are commemorated.
Further research is adding something of their life stories.
