The council backed down and Kitty's name stays on the memorial where it belongs. Keep a close eye on the council meeting minutes to ensure they follow through on this commitment.

One person objects and they are removing the name of a First World War Heroine from a War Memorial. This is disgusting, this woman left her village and never returned, sacrificing her life for the safety and freedom of others. Please sign this petition and stop the Dartmoor National Park Authority from forcing her name to be removed.KITTY’S NAME TO BE REMOVED FROM MEAVY WAR MEMORIALKITTY’S NAME TO BE REMOVED FROM MEAVY WAR MEMORIAL

This brave ladies name should remain on the memorial as it is in it's rightful place. Kitty died in service just like my great uncle and the rest of the brave people of WW1

It is high time the women of WW1 were remembered. There are so few on War Memorials - that should be put right.

Anyone, male or female who served this country in time of War deserves commemoration - in the name that they wished to be known by. Lest WE Forget

It is disgusting that the names of many women who died in War service during WW1 ad WW2 weren't added when the memorials were created. The objector doesn't have to look at the memorial if it upsets her. Keep Kitty on there.

It seems like petty arrogance is at play. There is no reason her name should be taken off. This girl joined the war effort at 17 and died at 19!! Where are your hearts. If your decision is that it must come off then let it stay until a new memorial can be built. God bless her.

To remove this girl's name from the memorial implies she is less than equal to everyone else on it, even though she gave her life for her country. What a disgusting decision by the War Memorials Trust, a charity who will never get another penny from me again.
