SUTTON on HULL
WAR MEMORIAL
Roll of Honour
"LEST
WE FORGET"
To the
undying
memory of the
Men of Sutton
who laid down
their lives for
their Country
in the Great War
1914-1918
To the Glory
of God and in
grateful remembrance of the men
of The Groves and of St Marks'
congregation who laid down
their lives in the Great War 1914-1919.
This memorial was errected
by Public Subscription.
Also of those
who died gloriously
in the World War 1939-1945.
The names recorded on these pages
are more than appear on the
Sutton War Memorial itself;
Thus we show details of men from
the congregations of St Marks in the Groves,
Stoneferry, and Wilmington,
all lost or wounded in World War 1.
In addition, the lists for
Stoneferry and St Marks seem
to also include those who served,
as well as those killed.
The names of the men lost
from these parts of the parish
in World War 2 will be added
as we sort out the records.
"Their
names liveth for evermore . . ."

St Marks in The Groves
Wilmington
Wawne
the War Graves within St James' churchyard
some of which are graves of men who were stationed near here and therefore
not neccessarily from Sutton, which explains why some of them do not
appear on the War Memorials themselves.

Since first posting this honour page some ten years ago, we have become aware that it is neither complete, nor totally accurate.
We have no record, for instance, of the Second War dead of Stoneferry, Wilmington and St Marks. It has also been noted that the list of Second War dead for Sutton itself is not complete. Indeed, the vast majority of names shown here are of First War dead. If anyone has knowledge of such extra records, do please get in touch with us.
Corrections will take some time, so please bear with us awhile. In the meantime, feel free to either email me or put your request in the Guestbook, and we'll try to oblige.

About a dozen War Graves from both
wars are within Sutton churchyard itself,
mainly of men from other parts of the UK,
and one of
F/Lt Pat Hughes,
an RAAF pilot from Cooma, NSW, Australia,
killed in action during the
Battle of Britain.
an additional page of
BRIEF BIOGRAPHIES
of some of the men that
appear on these pages
If you are researching a family member,
and are new to the Internet, you may find useful
the several Military Links,
to both the RAF and the other services,
on our Other Links Page
or click the button in the left-hand menu at any time.
There you will find help on how to access
service records and where they are kept.
In addition, for the time being until this can be hosted elsewhere,
we have a link to a page showing the
War Dead of the GPO in Hull.
Again, it opens in a new window, just close when finished with.
Details of all of the men lost can be viewed on the
Commonwealth War Graves Commission Website
(opens in a new window)
The Civilian War Dead Index for WW II
(also opens in a new window)
Whilst this page is mostly dedicated to Service Personnel
killed during the two World Wars,
the above link takes you to pages that list all the
civilian wartime casualties of enemy action
in Northumberland, Durham and Yorkshire.
You'll have no difficulty in spotting the Hull ones . .
sadly, they are easily the more numerous.
Heroes of Hull
Additionally, there is also a more local site, commemorating the War Dead of this area generally, for Hull and the East Riding. It also opens in a new window ...
The hosts of the Heroes of Hull page are Hullwebs, who are also the sponsor to this site, in that they host our full URL web address at no charge to us, and have done for the past few years. For this, we thank them.
