KIRKBIE Kendal School pupils have appealed to Westmorland Gazette readers to help it commemorate South Lakeland’s war dead.
A year nine history class is putting together a Roll of Honour in memory of men from the then Kendal Grammar School who left to fight for their country between 1914 and 1918 but never returned.
The children would like to hear from anyone who has photographs or information about men from local families who still live in the Kendal area.
The Roll of Honour will form part of the school’s Remembrance Day service in November and will be adopted permanently.
The school is keen to speak with any of the families of the men listed below, who sadly never returned: Edward L. Abbatt; Frederick Armstrong; Vincent J.D. Ascott; Peter J. Atkinson; James C.M. Bailey; Philip G. Bailey; Tom E.G. Bailey; Robert W. Balfour; Alexander B. Campbell; Raven Cozens-Mardy; Oswald S. Dixon; Walter Dixon; Walter Elson; Taylor Graham; James W. Gregg; Eric Heatherington; Gilbert T. Hogg; Sidney C. Huddlestone; MacGregor Jobson; Arthur Johns; Stephen Johns; Hugh R.H. Jones; William C. Kewley; Harry Knowles; Eric C. Lamonby; Thomas S. Middleton; Richard O. Nelson; Frederick A.K. Park; Hugh Park; Harry Pickles; James E. Proctor; Thomas H. Richmond; Robert W. Savage; Fawcett Storey; Strickland Thompson; Sydney W. Turner; William W. Tweedy; John V. Vaulkhard; Beresford H. Vyvyan; Thomas A. Warriner; Carrol H.M. Whiteside; Thomas J. Wightman; George T. Williams; Henry Wilson; Alan Winder; Joseph Wood; Charles M.G. Woolley.
