Research into the War Memorial of Morton, Bourne, Lincolnshire
The following soldiers lost their lives in the Great War 1914-1918 and appear on a memorial in St John the Baptist Church in Morton. There is also a memorial cross to them in the Churchyard but no names appear in this.
The internal memorial reads:-

Although some of this information appears on other Roll of Honour websites we hope that our research has expanded upon that of others.
The research into these brave men of Morton and Hanthorpe is ongoing and we hope you will check back frequently.
