World War 1 project for Holcombe, Dawlish and Cofton

The Dawlish World War 1 project
is a programme to commemorate those named on the war memorials at Holcombe, Dawlish and Cofton.

The project co-ordinators are keen to liaise with Starcross, so if you have a connection with any of these World War 1 heros, please get in touch

The Dawlish Gazette has published supportive articles which include:

• Soldier’s memorial service marks centenary of death in first world war Wednesday, 25 February 2015  
•  Manor article sparks memory. Wednesday 5 May 2015 
• Armistice Day in Dawlish Wednesday, 11 November 2015 

Here's the list of the seven Starcross heros, in month order of the day they died. Perhaps we should celebrate their lives in a similar fashion? or perhaps we already do so?
