Walthamstow War Memorial
« on: Saturday 18 August 18 17:51 BST (UK) »
does anyone know please if the Walthamstow War Memorial (WW1) has been transcribed?

I found the site below but can't get any of the links to work.

The only transcription I have found is for the stone in Walthamstow Cemetery (1914-18 only 7 names)
http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4016941.  I usually start with http://www.roll-of-honour.com/ but I can't find Walthamstow.

It could be worth contacting the Walthamstow Historical Society :

Good hunting

Thanks everyone.  I will email the Historical Society today (thanks Phillip).

I have also emailed the site in question but no response yet.

Try here ...
http://www.londonwarmemorial.co.uk/search_results.php?a=Walthamstow#sthash.JvsO5eBE.dpbs

I had a look at that site but I found 2135 results for Walthamstow.  I got scared and ran away!  I expected a memorial for Walthamstow to have between 100 to 250 names for 1914-18 and I can't find a way to reduce the number on the site.

Thank you - I'll take a look as I'm only interested in those of the Honourable Artillery Company.
