Codes Found on the Redhead Rolls of Honour

Corp.

= Corporal,

Pte. = Private,

Vet.Sgt

= Veterinary Sergeant, KIA = Killed in Action.

Of the four soldiers who were KIA, (Killed In Action), marked on the

plaques with an *, three were once students at Redhead School - Herbert

Bradley, Robert Croker and Harold Moore, while John Griffiths who was

also killed in action, probably attended school in his native Wales.

This plaque, first donated in 1926 and then displayed on the Memorial

Hall is very difficult to read. It is important to realise that all the soldiers

were “honoured” whatever their contribution in the Great War.

Another form of recognition was the marble

plaque presented in 1950.

Note that by this time some confusion about

the names had arisen.
