Notes

The names of the war memorial committee are also inscribed on the base.

War memorials usually show, either, only those who died, or, all those who served indicating which died. This memorial is unusual in that it doesn't indicate any who died. This raises questions. Did no-one from Newton Wood die in WW1? If they did die, are they named on this war memorial?

A quick check on the CWGC web site using the easy (i.e. less common) names doesn't reveal any who did die. Comments to carl@carlscam.com.
