West End Parish War Memorial, Southampton
West End Parish War Memorial, Southampton
There are 36 casualties commemorated on the West End Parish War Memorial in Southampton. Unfortunately identifying each individual is difficult because of a lack of information. A complete name list is available on http://hampshirewarmemorials.com/IndexesWW1/places/places_w/West%20End.htm. The memorial was erected thanks to Colonel EK Perkins and is the granite cross that now stands on the corner of West End Road, by the Old Burial Ground. It was unveiled on Saturday 5th June 1920. On the back is an inscription: “Erected in thankfulness for the preservation of their three sons by a mother and father 1914-1918”. The Perkins’ three sons – Noel, George and Hew – all served, and all returned to their home. https://www.westendlhs.co.uk/newsletter-events/the-great-war-1914-1918/ Charles Barfoot, Sidney Arthur Brown, Alfred Leonard Webb, James Wesley Williams appear to have survived the war, although SA Brown may have been killed. I have also included the grave of Sir Arthur Rostron in this community as he is buried in the cemetery behind the memorial.
