Notes:
Clement Freeman-Mitford is also listed on the Aston Magna, Moreton in Marsh and Great Wolford war memorials. While transcribing the
Moreton in Marsh memorial, I was approached by an elderly lady curious as to
what I was doing. Amongst other things, she mentioned that there is also a
memorial to Clement Freeman-Mitford in Swinbrook church, near Burford
James Gardner is also listed on the Moreton in Marsh memorial.
