(1) The three Hughes brothers, - sons of the Revd William Hughes and his wife Mary. The Revd Hughes was known as "the Fighting Parson". Strongly encouraged by Mr. Hughes almost all the young men of Hawnby joined up to fight in the Great War. And the war memorial records the large proportion who died.
(2) Private "W Featherstone" was Private George Wilfred Featherstone.
Lyn (<danzie2002@yahoo.co.uk>) who is doing genealogical reserach on
the Hawnby / Bilsdale area has provided material which shows that this is
so. Lyn has also showed that the two Garbutt names were not related.
Further information from Lyn, from a contemporary newspaper article, is that
"The first Hawnby patriot to fall was Pte John Cundall, the
only son of Mr & Mrs Cundall, the Chalet, Snilesworth and since then George
W Dickenson and Walter Dickenson, brothers, have made the supreme sacrifice,
while Wilfrid Featherstone died of wounds, as did also Lieut Raymond
Peake. "
