Thorpe Roll of Honour WW2

[alf]

Hi

On this Roll of Honour are listed 14 men who according to the inscription lost their lives. I have checked with the CWGC list and not one name did I find. Did they infact die, or has their been a mistake with the names, can any one help.

regards

It sometimes happens that a name on a memorial is found not to be commemorated by the CWGC. Not surprising given the large numbers,circumstances etc, but they will always add names given sufficient evidence.  But for ALL the names on a memorial to be missing suggests something else. Some memorials are just to those who returned, or those who served, but you say the inscription suggests these people died. Perhaps the CWGC site was malfunctioning as sites do from time to time?  Did you search under the appropriate war period?

Why not put some of the names on here and let us take a look?

Hi Imber

I have a photo of the Roll of Honour which is now attached

There are no other plaques which show any WW2 fallen which I find strange, may be the folks of this village were lucky that no one fell

Perhaps I have misunderstood your question, but doesn't the manuscript annotation make it clear that that there were no deaths in WW2. Perhaps it was unwise to use a standard Roll of Honour but the message seems clear enough, don't you think?
