Great War Casualties buried in the Dengie
Hundred
Sadly most of the heroes whose deaths are recorded on the war
memorials in Eastern Essex either have no graves or are buried
elsewhere.
Likewise a few servicemen who
died in this area are buried here although their names will be
recorded on memorials in their home town.
Some were able to be buried near
to their home and family.
The below lists some of the
servicemen who have headstones or memorials in churches in this area
