This is an appeal from the Watchet Remembrance Project Group to any family members or others with any information linking them to Harold Horsfield, Gunner, Royal Artillery 11415481, who died on July 31st 1943 in World War Two and is buried in St Decuman’s Churchyard in Watchet.

In recent research for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and the church, I have discovered details of Harold Horsfield, with probate records stating that he and his wife Gertude and their family lived in Swain Street at the time of his death.

In accordance with the the War Memorials Trust guidance and our criteria, Harold Horsfield will now be added to the Watchet war memorial.

We would really like any family members from the area to get in touch with our group to be a part of this process.
