Notes
1. From the dates, (1914-1916) it would appear that this is a Roll that was added to as time went by, showing that people had no idea how long the war would last.
2. Comparing the names of two who had already died on this Roll of Honour with those commemorated on P32.01, “George Francis Waller” had been adjusted to “John Francis Waller”.
