SANDRINGHAM
WAR MEMORIAL
World
War 1& 2 - Detailed Information
Compiled and Copyright © Transcribed by Carolynn Langley; Researched
by Lynda Smith - 2003
additional information Darroll Pardoe
and Michael Anstey
The
War Memorial stands near the church at Sandringham. It is very badly
weathered in places and is in Gothic script. Consequently it is difficult
to read. The following is an attempt to research those commemorated,
but we will appreciate any further information. Some extracts have been
taken from "War Service
Roll of the Members of the Royal Household" reprinted by Naval
& Military Press that was at one time housed in the stables. The
names listed were also found on a Roll of Honour relating to thiose
who died in World War 1. The Roll has William James BOND as dying on
12 August 1915, not 21 August and similarly Roland Edward RINGER also
died on 12 August 1915; it also has William Arthur RINGER, not Arthur
William.
Recently the Queen paid
tribute and this was covered in an article
by the Eastern Daily Press 24 which they have kindly allowed us
to reproduce.
Within the rrectory is
also a Roll of Honour listing the men from the Parishes of Sandringham,
West Newton, Appleton and Babingley on active service for their King
and Country. These have been listed on a separate Sandringham
Rectory page.
