SHRAWLEY WW1 WAR ROLL
The Shrawley War Roll is unique in that it records the names of everyone from the village who served in World War One. Inscribed on the beautifully illuminated parchment are the names and rank and regiment of the men and women together with their war service, wounds and the countries where they served. In the centre of the Triptych, inscribed in gold, are the names of the fallen. The Roll of Honour was presented to the parish by Mrs Allen of the Wood House in 1922.
The War Roll is displayed on the wall in Shrawley Village Hall. To the right of the War Role is the group photograph showing a picture of all the men and women who had served.

On arrival at Aldershot the Battalion was quartered in Corunna Barracks. The Battalion settled down to hard work at Aldershot in the 5th Brigade as part of the 2nd Division. It was widely known that the European situation was dangerous and all ranks were perfected in their training for war. The order for mobilization was received at Aldershot in the evening of August 4th 1914, and during the ensuing week all ranks of the 2nd Worcestershire were busily employed in completing their preparations for War.

Relief orders came in during the morning but were cancelled soon afterwards and we received orders for a small attack in conjunction with the Glasgow Highlanders on the German Line, which an aeroplane had reported to have been considerably strengthened during the previous night. The Glasgow Highlanders attacked but did not take the trenches. Our attack did not develop as there was such a short time in which to organize it. The Glasgow Highlanders suffered heavy losses during this action and the affair caused considerable feeling. On the evening of 22nd August the 2nd Worcesters were relieved and were drawn back into the reserve trenches. Between 20th – 23rd August the casualties suffered by the 2nd Worcesterhire amounted to 18 men killed and 35 wounded 6 In his will he left effects of £308 11s 1p to his mother, Betsy Pandfield, widow of 83 Dolphin Road, Sparkhill, Birmingham (Administration Birmingham 8 December) 13.
