I have an interest re E H G Phillips, but my query concerns "Smith H G R.N.". I have been able to trace a Harold George Smith who died on 8.8.1915 on HMS India which was sunk off Norway on that date, but I have been unable to establish that he had any contact with Worle and would appreciate any help. I have been able to identify all the others on the memorial.

If you look at the web site of the Worle History Society you will see that there is a link to Frank Gosden who has also researched the names on that Memorial. Frank is also a member of this society and tells me that he hasn't been able to positively identify "Smith H G" either! But please contact him because you might be able to help each other.

I think you were right!

The clincher I believe is that Harold George SMITH's widow and daughter were living in Weston-super-Mare in 1921

Here's his page on our new site ...
