Winsham at War

This Gallery was produced by Peter Duffell, with the generous co-operation of Village residents

Additional research has so far  centered on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, but not all have been traced at this moment.   

Further invaluable help has come from the following websites:

Somerset Light Infantry

The Gloucester Regiment.

The Monmouthshire Regiment.

The Territorial Force of the British Army.

Jane Storey’s impressive website about  HMS. Hampshire.

Also:

The Book of Remembrance - 5th. Battalion Somerset Light Infantry.

Chris Howell’s remarkable book ‘No Thankful Village’ about the men from the villages around Radstock and Midsomer Norton who served in The Great War.  

'The Somerset Home Guard -A Pictorial Roll-Call' by Jeffrey Wilson

 It is hoped that families still living in Winsham will be able to help with their memories so that more information can be entered in this part of the museum web site.
