Memorial Description:

List of Pupils and Units in which they served during the Second World War.

18 x A4 typewritten sheets.

These are judged to be incomplete with a sheet missing.

Names:

393 boys and 72 girls, dates when at school, regiment, rank,
and miscellaneous information such as job,
when or where killed, where served, honours or medals.
See transcript.

Notes:

1. The sheets are not numbered on the original. They have been numbered for the sake of this project. The sheets, when presented as photocopies to this project, were not in order. When placed in order, with the women’s names at the end, the list stops at “2S”, so it would seem that the last sheet with the rest of the women’s names is missing.
