NAMES REQUESTED FOR
INCLUSION ON THE TOWN MEMORIAL
 The Dover War Memorial Project receives many enquiries about
Dovorian casualties whose names are not included on the Town
Memorial.
For information on why names may not have
been included, please see
"Casualties Missing from the
Town Memorial"
The Town Council resolved in 2006 that
further names to be commemorated on the Memorial would be
considered every three years. The last update was in 2009 with a
dedication on Armistice Day, a further plaque will be added
for 2012. See
here for previous requests, and
here for further information on those to be commemorated for
2012.
On 5 September 2012
the Town Council resolved that the plaque for 2012 will be the final
plaque to be added to the Town Memorial. The Memorial will be
also rededicated to include Dovorians who have died in other
conflicts. The Town Council noted
also that Virtual War Memorial (this website) provides an
opportunity for the ongoing listing of individual names and
avoids many of the issues which are related to paper Books of
Remembrance.
For the foreseeable
future, therefore, there will be no further updates to the Town
Memorial. However, further initiatives to commemorate
or remember the Fallen of Dover are in mind.
