Details of all men killed whilst serving their country can be viewed on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Website (opens in a new window) Why are these men remembered at Sutton? All these three areas, St Mark's, Wilmington, and Stoneferry, were part of the historic Sutton parish for very nearly 600 years, from the 1300s to the 1880s. Hence why the safe-keeping of the memory of these men and their families is now willingly taken care of in Sutton ... there is nowhere else. In addition to this list above, which is an exact transcription of all the names that appear on the original stone plaques that were set into the earth around the memorial, there is now these updated lists as a result of more recent research and which now appear on the new marble plaques. These are the ones that list St Mark's in The Groves and Wilmington, and both are expandable for clearer reading.      We think .. we hope .. we have all of them. But we still suspect there are some discrepancies between the lists we know, and the stories that families have handed down. We can only apologise if some are still not honoured, and assure folks of a long and painstaking several years of research by many people to get the list as we have it now. Our research was complicated by the fact that many of the original street memorials were lists of men who also served, as well as those killed, with some showing an extra marking to show those who were reported as injured.  It's probably true to say that we'll never really get to the bottom of it all, with a truly accurate list.  We do our best. _______________________________________________________________ The Civilian War Dead Index for WW II (also opens in a new window) The above link takes you to another website and 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. There are 14 CWGC War Graves within Sutton churchyard itself, and another 5 family graves or memorials of men from both wars, a total of 19. They are mainly of men from other parts of the UK, and one of an RAF pilot from Cooma, NSW, Australia. "Their names liveth for evermore . . ."
