A paper Roll of Honour (WW I) in the church. It appears to have been drawn up, according to a small signature at the bottom, by “Geo. Dickinson 1916”. Two of the names, Frederick George Brookes and Arthur Reginald King have been outlined in red. Both of these died in the War, but why they are outlined when several others who died are not is a mystery to me…

Note: The War Memorials of Warwickshire page has some biographical information on the men of Binton who died in WW I and WW II. Here is a direct link to the Binton War Memorial page on that site, but it bypasses the frames navigation, so to see the rest of the site, use the first of the two links quoted here.
If you have further information on men listed on the Binton page, I think the author would like to hear from you…
