Colaton Raleigh

Overwhelmingly, the 11 men from the parish of Colaton Raleigh who are known to have fallen in the Great War did so as members of the Devonshire Regiment fighting on the Western Front in northern Europe. 

In fact, only two were not in the ‘Devons’, and they were both artillerymen. They are remembered on a brass plaque in St John’s Church.
