Newhaven 1917
By Ian Everest
Newhaven Town War Memorial has the names of 127 men who lost their lives during the Great War. According to records available at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) we can be sure that 36 Newhaven men were killed in action or died of wounds during 1917. Records of individual men do not always give full details and verifying any others who were killed during 1917 would require further research using other sources. For the purposes of this account, the names of those who are listed by the CWGC are included. If there are any individual details missing, then it is because it is not included in the record:
