CROYDON - GREAT WAR ROLL OF HONOUR Look-up offer
« on: Saturday 16 September 06 00:33 BST (UK) »
This information is from the book "Croydon and the Great War" and was originally featured in the "Peace" Souvenir issue of the Croydon Times, 26 July 1919.

The roll contains the names of:

2506 of the "fallen" - surname and either initials or first names, generally giving details of year of birth, sometimes schooling/employment and often parents/addresses
499 of those who won military honours  - name, service and honour but otherwise minimal supporting info
207 returned Prisoners of war - name, rank and address only

These are incomplete records.  For example only one of my three Great Uncles from Croydon who died in uniform in WW1 are recorded here.  But for him the information provided is much more extensive than hitherto seen.

For a look up request, please start a new topic in the CENSUS and RESOURCE LOOKUP REQUEST board for this county -  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,263.0.html.  Please use the heading - Croydon WW1 Roll of Honour - [name] in your posts

Thanks
