About
There are 36 men commemorated on the War Memorial which stands in the churchyard. Inside the church, the Roll of Honour has two Wrights. A Wright is on the War Memorial. But J Wright is not. We wonder whether it might be the same James Wright we have from Lyndon since the Regimental details match. The Roll of Honour also has a H Barnett immediately below a Harold Barnett Barfield. Both are from the South Staffordshire Regiment. We believe the H Barnett is a mistake due to confusion that Harold has Barnett (his mother's maiden name) as his middle name.
