Further Information
From: The Guides Guide to The Cathedral Church of Saint Thomas of Canterbury Portsmouth, 4th Edition 2004
"The War Memorial, resembling a medieval preaching cross, was designed by C. W. Bevis & Sons and built by H. G. Wilkins of Stamshaw in 1920. It commemorates by name those of the parish who died in the Great War, 1914-18. A second plaque added after World War II commemorates "our comrades from Portsmouth Town and the Church Sunday School". It stands on the site formally occupied by The Three Tuns, a three-gabled public house that in later times was also known as The United Services Hotel and The Guildhall Tavern."
In 2007 the Cathedral authorities launched an appeal to raise money for the restoration of the Memorial in time for the 90th anniversary of the end of WW1 in November 2008. They approached the researchers working on this website and asked us to confirm the names commemorated on the memorial so that the plaques could be recut. From the outset we decided that not only would we confirm the names (which proved relatively simple) but that we would provide some background for each of the men named. A report on the work done in connection with this project appears on the next page.
