Notes
1. Rather confusingly, the word “Soldiers” divides the names “Ritchie and S. Bolton” so that it reads “Ritchie Soldiers S. Bolton”, but the word “Soldiers” differentiates these names from the “Bandsmen” above.
2. The ranks have been etched into the glass near the names but are difficult to read.
3. The name “Griffinn” should be “Griffin” The soldier was my Great Uncle, E.W. Griffin. (Derek Griffin).
