Worcestershire | Evesham Journal | Rolls of Service
| Evesham Journal and Four Shires Advertiser Rolls of Service, 1914-1915 |
Lists of men on active service in the Great War, who lived within the circulation area of the Evesham Journal – roughly: Southwest Worcestershire, Northeast Gloucestershire, Southwestern Warwickshire and Northwestern Oxfordshire.
The lists began in the September 19th 1914 issue of the Evesham Journal, and
were printed almost every week until about July 1915; two subsequent lists were printed in November 1915, shortly before compulsory callup was instituted.
This index is not yet complete: when a transcript is completed and checked, I do some markup on the text and add it to the pool so a home-made script can generate the sorted listings below.
I expect around 4000 names in these listings when this is finished. Currently there are 3237 names.
You can see the individual transcripts –
including incomplete/unchecked ones not yet included in the sorted lists below. Use them with caution. though,
the unchecked ones will have errors.
And here are the sorted listings – most people won’t need a full listing, so I’ve broken them into 40-50K chunks for speed in loading
