Which Memorial Has The Fewest Names?

Recommended Posts

The memorial at Tyringham in Buckinghamshire has three names on it (plus one for WW2). Are there any out there with less?

There are plenty of memorials with only one name - what do you mean by memorials?

There is a village memorial in Shalbourne Wilts with three names of men who died in the 2nd Afghan War serving with the 66th Regiment

Pte George Tuttle

Corporal Joseph Cope

Private Charles Rolfe

all died 27th July 1880

And, of course, there are many church memorials to individuals

Indeed, i've around 100 of those in the county.

Do you have a photo of the Tyringham War Memorial that includes the names of those who died? We are compiling a website of Bucks War Memorials which is regularly updated. At present we are researching the south of the county, so haven't reached the Tyringham area yet. If you are able to take a photo or already have one that you would be willing for us to use, then it could be added to the website straight away.

Any help would be very welcome.

The Cenotaph at Glasgow doesn't have any names on it. The Roll of the Fallen for Glasgow, however, contains nearly 18,500 names...

The Tyringham memorial, btw, is the work of Lutyens. There is a chapter about it in the new (highly recommended) book "Lutyens and the Great War"
