Through the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website, I have managed to trace some of the names on the Memorial Cross.

I am fairly sure that the following entries relate to these former Speke residents named above who gave their lives and were buried or commemorated in another country.

Some have no grave and are recorded on memorials. Other give a specific cemetery and grave number.

As you read down them, you will notice some of the records mention their parent's names and addresses.

While researching these, I was struck by how young these men were and how unfamiliar the place names they died in must have been. These brave young men from the tiny village of Speke were  leaving their homes to fight for their country in foreign lands, never to return.

More information on each location and its history is available at the CWGC website.
