I have recently found out that my great uncle was killed in 1917 and is named on the memorial and I would like to pay my respects. He is buried in Belgium.

Yes there is a WW1 Memorial in Gatty Park, but there are no names on it.
The bronze plaque is in Gatty Hall.
Who are you after.
If you lived in the Fire Station Houses, then I should know you. I was in the Fire Brigade from 1957, until I retired.
