How many of us have visited or passed the many War Memorials that dot the land in villages, towns and our cities and wondered about the men and women whose names are inscribed upon them. The War Memorial in Staple lies in the churchyard at St James Church Staple. Every year for the past 90 years or so, the villagers of Staple had congregated at the church on Remembrance Sunday and the names on the memorial would be read out with reverence and in respectful memory. Generations have come and gone in Staple since the Great War, and indeed even the 2nd World War, and very few people in Staple 2014 still had connections to those names. Sadly In the end, they were becoming just names.
