Remembered Always
NAMES PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED FOR
INCLUSION ON THE TOWN MEMORIAL
Below are the names of casualties whose
relatives and friends requested their inclusion for the two
updates to the Town Memorial of 2009 and 2012.
2012
Amongst the list are two civilians
(marked with an asterisk *) who were
killed in Dover during the Great War. With the exception of one civilian,
commemorated at the Salem Baptist Church, Dover, none of the Great War civilian casualties are publicly commemorated
anywhere. At the time of the erection of the Town Memorial in
1924, these casualties were listed by the then Town Clerk. However owing to various problems at
the time, these and other casualties were not included.
The Dover War Memorial Project wrote to the
Town Council on 6 October 2010 requesting that at the next
update of the Town Memorial consideration be given to a special plaque dedicated
to those civilians. The Council have replied with thanks for the
information, and stated that full consideration of names will be
given nearer the time of the next update in 2012.
