St. Mary the Virgin, Guarlford Ordnance Survey reference: SO 813454 War Memorial Contents

This is a framed roll of honour on paper; there is a picture of a WW I soldier, but no mention of whether it is a listing of those that died, or those that fought in the war. However, Michael Beard has informed me that his grandfather and uncle, George Beard Sr. & Jr., listed on the roll, were not killed; so this is a listing of all those serving in WWI
