See page 3. BY RAJU MIAH BOW Church has been given £9,400 to honour the men and women of Mile End and Bow killed in action in World War I. Two memorial plaques, a wooden memorial and a battlefield cross in the church’s chapel will all be restored. The work will be funded through a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund’s First World War: then and now programme. The award will also fund research into the lives of the 88 people named on the memorials – the youngest of whom was just 17, the oldest 43. The deaths of twins and several brothers are recorded. Church rector the Rev Debbie Frazer said: “Bow Church has stood in the middle of this community for 700 years. The community’s history is told in the fabric of the building. “We are thrilled the Heritage Lottery Fund has chosen to support our project to deepen understanding of the impact of World War I on Mile End and Bow, and to remember those who lost their lives.” The memorials carry the names of residents who died in far-flung places including Macedonia and Africa, and on ships torpedoed by U-boats in the Atlantic. Their occupations included dockyard policeman and deputy chairman of the Bryant & May factory in Bow. The grant will also help fund a project aiming to deepen understanding of the impact the conflict had on the community. Research will be carried out working with East London History Society, Tower Hamlets Rifles Old Comrades Association, Tower Hamlets Local History & Archives, the National Archives and the War Graves Commission, and attempts will be made to trace relatives.
