War Memorials in the Cheltenham area

For their Book, Devereux and Sacker visited the 30 or so War Memorials in and around Cheltenham to compile the basic list of local persons who gave their lives in the Great War.

For this website, these memorials have been re-visited, as have others in Cheltenham, and in additional, the three village memorials within the defined area of this website being those at Badgeworth, Elmstone Hardwicke and Staverton.   The memorials have been photographed and those names inscribed on each memorial have been listed.   The complete list of sites visited is summarised here.   Each War Memorial has its own page within this website and can be found below.

During further research, other War Memorials not within the defined area but nevertheless containing the names of native Cheltonians or those associated with Cheltenham have been found.  These War Memorials are also listed below.
