ROLL OF HONOUR
The Parish of Lynsted with Kingsdown suffered 37 casualties from the hostilities of 1914-1918 and it is the story of these men who are remembered in the Society's book "They Shall Grow Not Old - The stories of the men of Lynsted with Kingsdown who gave their lives in the First World War".

Download: From September 2020, the Book of Remembrance is available as a free download (10Mb or 63Mb)
We also remember (below) the casualties from the seven Parishes that complete the "Ecclesiastical Parish of Kingsdown and Creekside". Casualties were: 41 from Teynham; 17 from Newnham; 11 from Doddington; 16 from Oare; 13 from Luddenham; and 3 from Wychling. Our research is used by our Clergy in preparing Commemoration services.
On Armistice Sunday 2018, a service for Teynham, Norton and Lynsted with Kingsdown took place in Lynsted Church. Several of the families we have worked with were able to join the Service for a very moving Commemoration Service followed by light refreshments from WW1 recipes (PDF) and an Exhibition. Lis and Nigel Heriz-Smith were also privileged to be invited to attend the National Armistice Service in Westminster Abbey - a considerable honour.
Return of the Unknown Warrior 1920, local newspaper reports the passage through Kent on 10th November 1920, for interrment in Westminster Cathedral on 11th November 1920.
