This page is a tribute to the 15 men from Occold who died in the Great War and are commemorated on the War Memorial.

We are seeking to give a bit more insight into these men rather than just names on a memorial, For each of the 15, we will document their own lives, their wives if married, their parents and their grandparents. We will also seek to put them into context within the village of Occold and its people, places and occupations at the time.

Where possible, we will also publish any photographs which may be relevant.

We will also seek to identify any living descendants in order that they might benefit from what we have found out if they did not already know, to seek any memories, records, photographs etc that they might have and to possibly organise some sort of local Meet 'n Greet at some time in the future.

The information we capture on each of these men will be recorded as a downloadable document since this is the most convenient way that some of this history can be published in the local ORACLE village magazine and will also enable paper copies to be retained as part of the Village Recorder archive.

A considerable amount of background has already been carried out by Alan Moore and was published as a booklet by Occold Parish Council. You can read this under We Will Remember Them.
