Really grateful for you bringing to my attention a topic about which I was ashamedly unaware - Thankful and Doubly Thankful villages:

... Upper Slaughter. It is that rarest of British locations, a "thankful village" - the term coined in the 1930s by the writer Arthur Mee to describe the handful of communities which suffered no military fatalities in World War I.
Mee identified 32 such places, a figure that has been revised upwards in recent years to 52. Of these, just 14 have, like Upper Slaughter, come to be known as doubly thankful - also losing no-one from WWII.

Thank you for the education. I'd not yet got around to to looking into the meaning!

It's a very pretty village, too.

A very ironic village name, given the circumstances...
