I am researching the names on Cartmel War Memorial. To visit this part of the site use this link.

In the northern part of the Cartmel Valley, the neighbouring scattered hamlets and farms make up the parish of Field Broughton, eleven men who fell in the Great War are honoured by a Memorial Window in St. Peter's church. The six who fell in the Second World War are named on a bronze plaque underneath the window.

Cartmel is a village in the south of the English Lake District. It is famous for its 12th Century Priory. It is also the name of the surrounding district, bordered by Morecambe Bay to the south and by the Lake District mountains to the north, with the rivers Leven and Winster marking its western and eastern limits.

The Cartmel valley meets the sea south of the village of Flookburgh where the War Memorial outside St John the Baptist's church commemorates the men of Flookburgh, Holker and Cark-in-Cartmel who fell in the Great War.

I am just beginning to research the names thereon, if anyone can offer further information I would be most grateful.

A Lindale Casualty

A Tragic Accident. 1914.

A local, North Lancashire branch of the Western Front Association meets at Lancaster on the first Monday of the month.

Grange-over-Sands is a genteel coastal resort a couple of miles from Cartmel village.

Frank Brooks has researched the names on the War Memorial which is situated in the town's Ornamental Gardens, close to the railway station.

These are photographs taken around the Cartmel area. This link takes you to the latest addition.

This takes you to an index page of photographs taken on the old Western Front on my visit in 2000.

Books. I am often asked for further details of people, battles and places on the Western Front and also about Cartmel's history. I thought it would be a good idea to add a bibliography, but when I used amazon I felt that this was the way to go. You will find suggestions for further reading at the end of some (when I've finished most) pages, which link directly to amazon.co.uk where you can order the book.

This is a link to the links page. What?

No luck yet, no-one has been able to help with this poem found handwritten in a WW1 veteran's copy of "Palgrave's Golden Treasury." Can anyone help find its origin?
