As part of his project to compile a database of soldiers of the Worcester Regiment in WW I, Derek Sims has transcribed the memorial scroll in the Cathedral, and he has very kindly sent me a copy of the list of officers:

Also, here is part of an email I received from Eric Bender:

> In reviewing your section on Worcestershire, I wonder if you are aware of
> the stained glass window(s) in Worcester Cathedral honouring the fallen. I
>have a photo of one which reads as follows:
>
> Members of the Voluntary Choir and Cathedral Guild
> Who Fell in the Great War 1914-18
>
> L. Heath
> R. Morris
> W.B. Jones
> E. Langford
> R. Morris
> C. Walters
> J. Peperill
> S. Fell
> W.T. Rea
> F.G. Pardoe
>
> Erected by their Fellow Members and Friends
>
> L. Heath was my great-uncle Leonard. My mother recalls the money being
> raised for this memorial shortly after the end of W.W. 1. (Leonard Heath's
> brother was my grandfather, Harry Heath (1881-1958), who was Regimental
> Sergeant-Major of the Worcestershires for many years between the wars.)

Some other descendants of Harry Heath still live in Worcester, but will remain unidentified here, as I don't want to broadcast their details to the world without their permission. Anyone researching the Heath family should contact:
