WE REMEMBER TODAY:

William Wood who died on 23rd March 1915, aged 28. He is buried in Lostwithiel churchyard in Cornwall. William died whilst in training in Cornwall with the 13th Battalion Notts and Derbyshire Regiment.

I have yet to complete Williams story but will post it on the webpage when I have.

We remember today  John Smitheson who died on 8th March 1916, he left two young children.

I have only done a bit of research into John Smitheson’s life so far and if any descendant of the family has any information they would like to share on the website then please get in touch.

March will be the last month I will be listing the men by the month they died. I have now done the full year and hopefully all of the brave Old Whittington men will have been remembered on the day they died.

William Wood       died  23rd March 1915

John Carlile            died  27th March 1918
