This site is dedicated to the men and women of Fenny Stratford in Buckinghamshire who took part in the Great War and who, in many cases laid down their lives.
Some of them travelled back to Europe, from Canada, Australia and New Zealand, to fight in the army of their adopted counties, while others would have been leaving the area of their birth for the first time. Many returned home at the end of the war, but the War Memorial records sixty nine that did not and my research now shows that there were others who are not commemorated on the memorial but who also made the ultimate sacrifice. They now lay in many different countries: France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Iraq, Turkey & Syria: some in graves bearing their names, some no doubt are 'Known Only Unto God' while others may still lay where they fell. The details of the fallen can be found on the page entitled 'Lest We Forget'
To date I am aware of only one woman who gave her life, May Emma Constable, her story can be found on the page that carries her name.
For the many that returned home after the war details are few and far between, however, I will include the scant details that I have on the page entitled 'They also Served'
Finally, it should be remembered that this is very much a work in progress.
