A Thankful Village is one in which no men or women were
lost in the Great War serving King and Country.        

There are 56 villages in Rngland and Wales considered to
be Thankful Villages, with Stapleford being the only one
in Wiltshire.                                           

It is uncertain just how many men left Stapleford and      
returned safely, but research has identified the following:

Arthur Henry Charlton

William Frank Drake

Frederick Walter Pearce

Robert Pearce

Frank Victor Ransome

Stanley Ransome

Edward Elford Waterman

Frank Clifford West

George Whatley
