Notes

1. There had been a previous Roll of Honour, recorded within the Barnard Lodge Minutes on 4th August 1916 (the second Anniversary of the start of the First World War) when three other names were also included, though omitted from the 1918 list – probably because the first two brethren had since resigned from Lodge membership and, in the case of the third, because he had volunteered as a civilian non-combatant – though that is speculation by the author of the booklet.
