Kirby-le-Soken Village War Memorial
The Village War Memorial, situated in The Street, Kirby-Le-Soken.
For safety reasons it was moved in 1953 from the road junction of The Street and Halstead Road. The memorial was dedicated on 11th April 1920 by local dignitaries and clergy. There are 34 names for World War I and II casualties, plus 2 Civil Defence who also died in World War II.
Much of the Military information on the Casualties was obtained in cooperation with www.roll-of-honour.com.
Where further details are available, you can click on the individual names. This page was put together by Derek Ladkin.
