The war
memorial at Long Clawson in Leicestershire – best know these days for the dairy
producing Stilton Cheese, can be found at Back lane LE14 4PA. It
commemorates those from the village who were killed in not just the First and Second
World Wars, but also the conflict in Aden [1963-67]. The memorial is unusual in
that it was erected in 2016. Prior to that date the village had remembered its
war dead with a Roll of Honour mounted on a wall inside St Remigius Church on
Church Lane. The Roll of Honour is still there, listing the 157 who served in
the First World War.
