Amanuensis Monday ~ Windham, New Hampshire Honor Rolls

In 2010  I started a transcription project to transcribe the war honor rolls or memorial lists on the Londonderry Town Common.  Then I transcribed some of the honor rolls in Derry at MacGregor Park.  This Memorial Day week I will post the honor rolls from Windham, New Hampshire.  Instead of being outside in a park or on the common the Windham honor rolls are inside the Armstrong Building (the old library), which is now the Town Museum run by the historical society.

Today I will begin with the plaque that honors those who fought in the French and Indian Wars.  One name is listed at the bottom for the Mexican War, too.

    An interesting plaque, though the beginning of the war was 1754, not 1744.
    It could have read "A TRIBUTE TO THE MEN OF WINDHAM, WHO SERVED THE BRITISH CROWN IN THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS..."
    The Seven Years War is not my favorite pre-America moment in history, but I am biased.

    Thanks,
    Rob
