The Fallen

Yeovil men who gave their lives in the Great War

 

This is an index of the names of Yeovil men who gave their lives in the First World War.

The requirements for adding a name to Yeovil's War Memorial was issued by the Town Council in 1919. Sadly many names were, for whatever reason, not included.

Originally names were inscribed in the stonework of the Borough War Memorial but over the years, as new conflicts and new names were added, at least two sets of brass plaques were added. With regard to names of Yeovil's fallen of the Great War, until November 2018 there were 236 names on the Borough War Memorial and 15 on the Preston Plucknett War Memorial.

The 312 pages that make up 'The Fallen' on this website (my 2014-18 project for Yeovil's Virtual Museum) is complete. I am proud that my research for this project discovered over sixty Yeovil men whose names were omitted from the Borough War Memorial and two from the Preston Plucknett War Memorial. I also discovered forty-six errors on the most recent panels. Fifty-three names are being added to a new set of plaques for the Borough War Memorial (bringing the total to 289 names), commissioned by the Town Council, unveiled on the centenary of Armistice Day, 11 November 2018.

There is still some discrepancy between the names on the War Memorials and the names included in 'The Fallen' on this website. The Town Council's working party (which included me) decided that any new names for the memorials should be men (or women, had there been any) born in the urban area of Yeovil town and died as a direct result of the conflict. I, on the other hand, decided that for 'The Fallen' I would also include those who came to live and work in Yeovil - not just the town, but in the wider Yeovil that includes Watercombe, Yeovil Marsh, Vagg, etc. I also include those who died from disease, accidents, etc. while on, or as a result of, their military service.

Each Yeovilian who fell in the Great War has a page on this website in their memory. Clicking a highlighted name below will lead to the page for that person.
