I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe

Thanks for the email. Looked at the first 4, but can't find any military records as yet. At least one survived the war, do you want his death recorded so that you can eliminate him?

Ann,

It sounds like a very worthwhile project - so I've moved the topic to here in the Common Room so that more RootsChatters can help you.

All the best,
Trystan

Hi Annie

I know about the trees campaign (am actively involved in it). We hope we can save them but as a result of it we unearthed this huge gap in the archives which we wanted to sort out. Western Rd is one of a few streets here in Sheffield where war memorials in the shape of tree lined avenues exist. There are tho a few that have no roll of honour in the school and Western Road infants is one.

If we can save the trees, we will but if not we will I hope have a lasting record for the Crookes community we can give to the Sheffield archives as well as the War Memorials Trust in perpetuity. It's a close knit community and people feel very attached to what their trees represent and many are descendants of those who served whose families have stayed in the area. They are very proud of their boys (rightly so) and very excited we're doing this so they can have a proper roll of honour.

Best Wishes

Ann :)

Hi Ann

Could the WW1 casualties who attended Western Road Infant School have been commemorated on a Memorial at any subsequent junior or secondary school they attended?
