Below are the men’s names engraved at the base of the Winkleigh Memorial Cross which commemorates the Winkleigh men who died in the armed forces during the First World War.  Also included at the end are J. MEDLOCK and R. MITCHELL who died during the war but are not mentioned on the actual memorial, and whose names may be added to the Roll of Honour in the Church.
      For the first time, there is a complete and accurate description of each man’s involvement in the War.  To see these descriptions, just click on the names of the soldiers or any associated box.  The descriptions trace the men’s background, their time in service, and describe the battles in which these men took part, and the campaigns that set the stage for these battles.  These descriptions are being updated as new information comes to light.
      The East face of the Cross also commemorates those who died in the 2nd World War.
