Ray, a descendant of one of the men on Stockwell War Memorial, has
contacted me with fascinating information and pictures of his
grandfather, Charles Frederick Parker, who died in 1918 in what became known as the Second Battle of the Somme.
Together we have pieced together a bit of Charles Parker's family
history. Read more about the life of this hard-working engineer, family
man and lifelong South Londoner. |

A picture of the beautiful First World War memorial inside St Andrew's Church, Landor Road, has yielded clues to the identities some of the men on the Stockwell War Memorial. Many of the men listed are also on the Stockwell War Memorial. I have updated the names index with new information for the men who are also on the Stockwell War Memorial. My next project is to identify those who are on both memorials and who I have not been able to trace. Helpfully, the memorial includes both first name and date of death,
which makes it easier to find the men on the Commonwealth War Graves
Commission website. |

The search functionality on CWGC website has been greatly improved - much better usability and increased visibility of results. I hope to identify some of the casualties on the war memorial that have previously been too difficult to identify.
