The layout of this memorial initially confused me – I thought the break out from alphabetical order of the last few days were as a result of the later identification of Great War casualties associated with Brantham. It was not helped that on the first panel , the first name listed has a better candidate for inclusion from the Great War rather than WW2. However it soon became clear that these later names – starting with Amoss on this panel, were actually men from Brantham who died in WW2.
It also became clear that men from nearby Cattawade were also remembered on this Memorial. This is also probably due to the role the British Xylonite Company played in the local economy - apparently there are memorials elsewhere in Brantham dedicated to both the fallen and those who served. For more on that see the following:-
