WW1 Remembrance Service for Hodnet Soldier

Hodnet Parish Council has been contacted by St Chad’s Church, Shrewsbury which is is holding weekly WW1 remembrance services. The services are being held every Wednesday at 5pm from 27 August 2014 until June 2019. The intention is to remember by name every man and woman listed on a Shropshire war memorial in the week of the 100th anniversary of their death.
On 8 October the lone name to be remembering is that of John Barber from Hodnet who served in the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry. On November 5th a total of 23 people are to be remembered including William Hill from Hodnet who served in the Royal Navy.
All are welcome to any or all of these short (approx 1/2 hour) services. The names of those to be remembered each week are shown on St. Chad’s website: www.stchadschurchshrewsbury.com/ww1-services.
Those organising the services ask that if anyone would like to have another person remembered during one of the services, to contact them. They are happy to include men and women from any conflict with or without a connection to Shropshire. The information used to compile the lists for these services is also being used to produce a county roll of honour for WW1 and the information will in time be available on-line in a fully searchable format.
St. Chad’s can be contacted by phone 01743-365478 or by email.
