A number of family graves have memorial inscriptions to relatives of died in WW1. These soldiers and sailors were either buried overseas or elsewhere in the UK or there bodies never recovered. There may also be commemorated on in places like the Portsmouth Naval Memorial or local churches. The families of such people still wanted to commemorate them personally and close to home and so added inscriptions to the family graves. An example is Private Alfred Sharpe who was killed in action in 1918 and is buried at the Soissons Memorial, Aisne, France. Alfred Offer was killed on HMS Black Prince at the battle of Jutland in 1916. The map below shows the location of these memorials. Please see separate page for WW1 Commonwealth War Commission register burials.
