Report from Paul Kenyon
Lathom Park Trust have dedicated their Facebook page this last week to remembering the men from the village who were lost during World War One and are remembered on the Hall Lane War Memorial.
The memorial was the last work done by the Lathom Estate stonemasons in the early 1920s. There are 19 men from the First World War named on the memorial - most of them were born at Lathom, most were baptised in Lathom Chapel and several worked for the Lathom Estate.
Their families have been traced back generations in the village and in the Estate records. The photo shown is the Fletcher family of Glover's Bridge. They lost two sons in the War, Thomas born 1887, and killed in action November 1918 (standing on right) and William b 1893 and KIA Feb 1917. This original photo has been kindly donated to LPT; for more information on these men and their families visit https://www.facebook.com/lathomparktrust/
The Trust has also published a very comprehensive history on the Lathom Park Remount Depot during the War years which is still available.
