Here are Newhaven's three War Memorials, now all standing together at the junction of Southway and Bridge Street.

Andy, I know the one that used to stand at the Dacre Road junction was moved to the harbourside many years ago. Has the one from Chapel Street/Fort Road been moved as well? Where did the third one come from?
Yes, it was moved a few years ago. The Canadian memorial is much more recent than the other two, not sure of the exact date. I'm sure someone will know.
For the Canadian one I would suggest 1982, as being the 60th anniversary of the Dieppe Raid.
I remember my Dad, John Chapman, laying the wreath at the Canadian Memorial in the late 1980s until he and my Mum moved to Yorkshire.
My Great Grandfather is listed on the memorial at St Mary's Church. He is Cpl William Evans T4/185898. He was killed on the 27th April 1917. He was just 32 years old. I would love to know why he is on a memorial so far away from home, and how he enlisted in Seaford ? does anybody have a picture of the names listed ? I would love to see one
