West Midlands | Shirley | War Memorial
Mark Rogers is researching the men listed on the Shirley war memorial, and has kindly donated this listing of them, with some basic information about their regiments. He would be happy to share the information he has; and if you have additional information about any of them, please contact him. Contact information is on the Links page
See also this listing, of those who died in Air Service in the
