Part of the war memorial in Norbury, Staffordshire

A secondary memorial which appears to list all those local lads and men who fought, rather than solely those who lost their lives; it list 13 names, six who died and are listed on the adjacent war memorial and the rest, who presumably survived the many perils of that terrible conflict and came home again. It includes five men from one family, or at least sharing the same surname (so potentially cousins at least) who returned, hopefully unscathed. Lucky family.
