Close to Purton are other villages with similar small War Memorials that i have researched, this research so far has been restricted by my time spent researching Purton but hopefully will expand to tell the whole story. The Memorials covered so far are at Hook and lydiard Millicent. I have included links to other sites that may have more detail than i have so far uncovered, i hope you find these usefull.
