Rachel Farrand has kindly forwarded information regarding the
Virtual War Memorial for All Souls' Church in Radford (Nottingham).
The original War Memorial in this church was lost when the church was demolished
and rebuilt in 1980. The Virtual Memorial has been compiled from scrutiny
of Nottingham Evening Post obituary entries, the CWGC Debt of Honour Register
and other military sources, census data and Birth, Marriage and Death indexes.
Searches for All Souls parishioners killed during the Great War also discovered
other Radford men whose names are absent from local community memorials and
it seemed appropriate to include them on this memorial.
Three soldiers who served with the Yorkshire Regiment are commemorated on the All Souls', Radford, War Memorial.
