Roll of Honour.
Underneath the Book of Remembrance is a calligraphed Roll of Honour of those who died in 1939-45. It is almost exactly the same as the typed list, but omitting the addresses. However, there are one or two minor changes, with two additional names.
There is also a two-paged typed list (in red) of WW2 casualties giving name, rank, service, address and date of death.
