Over the coming months I will be locating and photographing
the Great War memorials in Jersey starting with the twelve parish
memorials.
The parish memorials are located in prominent
positions around the Island but I wonder how many people in
Jersey today take any notice of the lists of names inscribed
on the memorial panels. These memorials were and still are very
important to Jersey, and the men listed on them whether they
died in the 1914-1918 war or other conflicts since deserve and
must be remembered for giving their lives so we can enjoy freedom
today.
