Please read my introduction to the project to understand why I decided to research and write about this topic.
I am Mike Allen, and I have tried to tell the stories behind the names of the 50 local men who died. Each name on the left links to a page about each man. The pages can be downloaded and printed.
I am also one of the team of four who researched, created, and continue to update the North Mymms History Project, and I am responsible for the Images of North Mymms project.
Below are photographs of the North Mymms War Memorial listing many, but not all, of the names mentioned on this site.
On the left is a list of all those remembered on this site. On the right you will find their military details, including regiment, battalion, rank, and the medals bestowed on them.
If you want to visit the memorial it is off Tollgate Road, close to St Mary's Church, North Mymms, grid reference: TL 22331 04685.

In the 1980's at a antiques market in St Albans I bought a memorial death plaque named to Albert Beach. The item was sold complete with heavy outer card envelope, paper envelope, letter and plaque.
ReplyDeleteSadly no other information or service number was linked with the item. I've always wondered if my plaque is named to the same Albert from Mymms. The antiques trader did say the item was sourced locally, so who knows, perhaps it was Albert's.
Hi, I would love a photo of teh plaque if you still have as I researched the Mighty Men of Mymms, I am sure its more than likely to be his
