Notes
The details shown on the memorials are minimal and therefore linking casualties from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission can be difficult. In some circumstances it has not been possible to link a name on a memorial to a casualty, in others possible casualties have been linked. Errors may occur during this process, and if you can provide correcting details please let us know.
Occasionally the details shown on the memorial appear to be incorrect against the details available from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Where possible other sources have been used to ascertain the most likely correct details.
If you are aware of missing information and/or have further details and particularly photographs please let us know.
The Second World War which started on 3 September with the declaration of war on Germany and concluded with VJ Day on 15 August 1945 is usually regarded for casualty purposes as falling within the period 3 September 1939 - 31 December 1947.
