Read this fascinating research by Roger Mance into the background stories and family history of 18 men who gave their lives in the Great War, 1914-1918 AD. The names of the 18 are to be found on the village war memorial in the south transept of St Botolph’s Church, Hadstock. All were born in Hadstock or had families with a close association to our village. Roger’s account was created as a tribute to the memory, courage and sacrifice of these men and produced as part of the 2020 Millennium celebrations for the Church.

Hi Nick,
Sorry for the late reply. No, I am not aware of any research beyond that carried out by Roger Mance. I will ask one or two long standing residents if they have knowledge of the Garner family and let you know.

Nick,
I have done a small amount of research on WO2 Garner, if you contact me through the website http://www.cambridgeshireregiment1914-18.co.uk I can share it with you.
