HMS Tigris was a T-class submarine :-

"Tigris left Malta on 18 February 1943 to patrol off Naples.

She was last sighted at 0730 on 24 February, 39 miles (63 km) from Capri.

On the morning of 27 February, the German submarine chaser Uj-2210 , escorting a convoy six miles southeast of Capri, made contact with a submarine and carried out three depth charge attacks, the third attack brought oil to the surface and the contact was noted to be stationary.

A fourth attack of fifteen depth charges brought a huge bubble of air up.

On 6 March, Tigris was ordered to Algiers but there was no reply to this signal.

She failed to return to Algiers on 10 March 1943 and was declared overdue on that date"

The ceremony combined welcoming home returning soldiers, with the commemoration of those who had died.

The memorial was designed and constructed by Messrs M Tuttell and Son of Lincoln, who built numerous war memorials in Lincolnshire including those at Canwick, Eagle, and Witham on the Hill (all Grade II-listed).

The dedication includes the names of 13 people who died during the First World War, including Nurse Martha Jane Pattrick (d1917), as well as three who died at home from the effects of war.

Following the Second World War an additional inscription was added to the memorial with a further four names"

It was the work of local memorial masons Messrs Mawr Bros of Louth, who were responsible for numerous other war memorials in the region, including Conisholme and Welton Le Wold.

The unveiling was carried out by Mr Walter George Moncaster and Mr Frank Soulby, former servicemen, at a ceremony led by local clergy and attended by villagers who had processed from the old Market Place.

After the Second World War, additional names were inscribed onto the memorial"

Local signage states :-

"BLYTON, A strange spectacle awaits the traveller who enters its church, a spectacle to which kings and presidents have contributed', an impressive display of the flags of the Allies in the First World War.

It began with a mother whose son died in France; she wanted a French flag for the church.

Then the mother of a son who fell in Belgium wished for a Belgium flag.

So it was that the vicar of those sad years set himself the task of collecting the flags of the Allies for his church.

King Albert sent the Belgium flag, and the French president sent the Tricolor.

Admiral Beatty sent an ensign flown at Jutland, and the Viceroy of India, and the Governors of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa sent Empire flags.

The Kings of Italy, Serbia and Rumania responded, and so did the Emperor of Japan, whose country was a friend of Britain then.

The American flag came from President Wilson, and the Portuguese flag came with special affection from the, President of the republic, for it was from Blyton that Sister , Margaret went out to matron the Portuguese hospital in France, when she was decorated with one of Portugal's ancient orders"

Memorial Plaque for John William Scott displayed in the church.

"The Memorial Plaque was issued after the First World War to the next-of-kin of all British Empire service personnel who were killed as a result of the war.

The plaques (which could be described as large plaquettes) about 4.72 inches (120 mm) in diameter, were cast in bronze, and came to be known as the "Dead Man’s Penny", because of the similarity in appearance to the much smaller penny coin which itself had a diameter of only 1.215 inches (30.9 mm). 1,355,000 plaques were issued, which used a total of 450 tons of bronze, and continued to be issued into the 1930s to commemorate people who died as a consequence of the war"

"Amongst the communion plate, the alms-bowl is a curious piece of antiquity, formed of maple with a broad rim of silver gilt, ten inches in diameter, and a large silver button at the bottom, ornamented with a St. Andrew's cross, and the figures of the Holy Family, surrounded by a moulding, ornamented with rays of glory.

"A village which rejected a war memorial 87 years ago after being refused permission to include a soldier shot for desertion is finally to honour its dead.

The tiny community of Fulstow, near Louth, Lincs, is one of the few in Britain to have no monument to the First World War, during which seven villagers lost their lives.

Fulstow was offered one in 1918 but was told it could not include Pte Charles Kirman, of the Lincolnshire Regiment's 7th Battalion. Pte Kirman, a veteran of the Somme, was shot at dawn in 1917 after going absent without leave"

There is no village war memorial for the fallen of Goulceby so the parish decided to have this one made for the centenary of the armistice. It is in the church porch.

Walter Parker VC (20 September 1881 - 28 November 1936) was born in Grantham.

"On the night of 30 April/1 May 1915 at Gaba Tepe, Gallipoli, Turkey, Lance-Corporal Parker, a volunteer stretcher-bearer, went out with a party of NCOs and men to take ammunition, water and medical stores to an isolated trench containing about 40 men and several wounded.

There were no communication trenches leading to the trench, and several men had already been killed in an attempt to reach it.

After crossing an area of about 400 yards swept by machine-gun and rifle fire, Lance-Corporal Parker was alone, the rest of the party having been killed or wounded.

On his arrival he gave assistance to the wounded and when the trench was finally evacuated early the next morning, he helped to remove and attend the casualties, although he himself was seriously wounded"

"The Second Boer War (11 October 1899 - 31 May 1902) was fought between the British Empire and two independent Boer states, the South African Republic (Republic of Transvaal) and the Orange Free State, over the Empire's influence in South Africa.

The trigger of the war was the discovery of diamonds and gold in the Boer states.

The war is also known as the Boer War, Anglo-Boer War, or South African War.

Initial Boer attacks were successful, and although British reinforcements later reversed these, the war continued for years with Boer guerrilla warfare, until harsh British counter-measures including a scorched earth policy brought the Boers to terms"

The War Memorial was made by Mawer Bros of Louth and unveiled in 1920. It is in the form of a small Celtic wheel cross above a shaft decorated with Celtic tracery.
 
The memorial originally stood outside the Village Hall but was moved to the present site at the junction of Main Road and Glebe Road in 2000. It is intended to move it forward a couple of feet to allow a better view of the names on the back face.
 
It is listed Grade II; see:

Restored in 1919 as a war memorial - dedication and names recorded on alabaster tablets in the church. 

"The base of the cross, which is largely medieval, includes three steps of square plan now supported by a shallow concrete plinth.

Resting on the top step is the socket stone, a single block, square in section at the base, with moulded and chamfered corners rising to a top of octagonal section.

Fixed into the socket stone are the remains of the medieval shaft, rectangular in section at the base and rising above moulded and chamfered corners in tapering octagonal section to a height of 1.29m.

Set onto the top of this fragment is a modern shaft with an integral cross head, which takes the form of a gabled cross with a carving of the Crucifixion on the west face"

"Kirton War Memorial was built by G Maile and Sons at a cost of £530, to commemorate the 68 local servicemen who fell in the First World War. G Maile and Sons were masons, sculptors and church furnishers (especially stained glass), based in Euston Road, London. They were responsible for a number of war memorials across the country, a number of which are listed including Wooburn, Fowlmere and Pirton War Memorial (all Grade II).

The dedication ceremony was held on 12 November 1922 and it was unveiled by Sir Archibald Weigall who was Governor of South Australia 1920-1922 and also unveiled many war memorials there. The names of the fallen from the Second World War were added at a later date.

The memorial is sited in a triangular paved area surrounded by the original railings on a low wall with an ornate iron entrance gate located at one corner. Three new gates were added in 1996."

One of the names is that of Leonard James Keyworth VC :-

"For most conspicuous bravery at Givenchy on the night of 25-26th May, 1915.

After the assault on the German position by the 24th Battalion, London Regt, efforts were made by that Unit to follow up their success by a bomb attack, during the progress of which 58 men out of a total 75 became casualties.

During this very fierce encounter Lance-Cpl Keyworth stood fully exposed for 2 hours on the top of the enemy's parapet, and threw about 150 bombs amongst the Germans, who were only a few yards away.

* London Gazette, 2 July 1915

He later achieved the rank of Corporal, but was killed in action at Abbeville, France, on 19 October 1915"

Following a meeting on 5th July 1919 a committee was formed to raise £500.

Peace celebrations took place in the village on 26th July 1919 and a photograph shows that the hall had been built by this time.

The original hall was a military building made from timber and corrugated iron.

In the 1970s the outer steel had begun to corrode and plastic covered steel was used for the cladding.

"The Morton Gymes disaster in October 1914 related to the presence of over 4,000 Yorkshire Territorials in Gainsborough, to carry on their training before being sent to France in April 1915.

They were billeted with local families, many of whom had husbands and sons who had enlisted in the army.

On Friday, February 19th, 1915, the town was shocked when seven members of "D" Company of the 4th Battalion, King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry were drowned.

They had gone to a local pond, known locally as a "gyme," in Morton, to practice raft building. A raft was built consisting of tarpaulins filled with straw, ropes and planks of wood.

Estimates of the number of soldiers on board the raft when it tipped over were disputed, some claimed that it was up to 40 and it is recorded that 7 soldiers died.

In 2015, as part of a WW1 related HLF project, a new memorial was established and dedicated at St Paul's Church"

Charles Sharpe who is named on the Roll was a recipient of the Victoria Cross in 1915.

"Charles Sharpe was a farmer's boy from Pickworth, near Bourne, Lincolnshire, who ran away from home to join the army at the age of sixteen ...

On 9 May 1915 at Rouges Bancs, France, Corporal Sharpe was in charge of a blocking party sent forward to take a portion of the German trench.

He was the first to reach the enemy's position and using bombs with great effect he himself cleared them out of a trench 50 yards (46 m) long.

By this time all his party had fallen and he was then joined by four other men with whom he attacked the enemy with bombs and captured a further trench 250 yards (230 m) long"

On 15 September 1940, he and his crew took part in the Battle of the Barges. This was an operation to disable German barges that were preparing for an invasion of Britain.

Flak struck their aircraft and it quickly caught fire. The navigator and rear gunner bailed out but Hannah stayed aboard, fighting the fire.

The pilot, Clare Connor, brought the very badly damaged aircraft back to Scampton.

Hannah was awarded the VC at just 18 years of age. He had suffered serious burns and never fully recovered. He died in 1947 and was buried in Leicester.

To keep his memory alive at Scampton, the Hannah Rose variety was developed. It grows in a bed on the left as you enter the churchyard"

Twenty six local men signed up during WWI and seven made the supreme sacrifice, including Pte Albert Jacklin who fell on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Somme, the blackest day of British Army history. The memorial design is based on the medieval cross at Somersby with representations of the Crucifixion on the south face and the Virgin and Child to the north. The rather unusual feature is the copper plate bearing the names of the fallen.

South Reston’s war memorial is well hidden behind the boundary hedge of the churchyard of the former St Edith’s church, demolished in 1983.

It is an unusual and very attractive design of a draped urn on top of a square pillar which is itself sculpted to look as if it is spread with a broderie anglaise cloth.

The memorial lists eleven names on the east and west faces. Both the Denniss and Hoodless family names appear twice.

"On Wednesday January 22nd, 1919, a meeting was held in the Southrey Schoolroom to discuss the possibilities of a War Memorial for the village.

At the meeting it was decided that the Memorial should "take the form" of a Hall that could be used by those living not only in the village but also in "outlying places".

"The Village Hall, Southrey's War Memorial, opened officially on 25th November 1920"

"Spalding War Memorial is located in the grounds of Ayscoughfee Hall and commemorates the 224 men from the town killed in the First World War.

It was conceived by Barbara McLaren, the widow of the town's MP Francis McLaren, and designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, known for his war memorials including the Cenotaph on Whitehall in London.

It takes the form of a pavilion and a Stone of Remembrance at the head of a long reflecting pool; the names of the fallen are inscribed on the back wall of the pavilion"
