Local Roll of Honour
Men and Women Who Have Enlisted in the Services
August 1939 to Feb 1940
|
|
1st December 1939
This week we publish the first list of names in our Roll of Honour – the names of men and women from this district who are serving with His Majesty’s Forces on land, sea, or in the air.
All are proud of them, these lads – and lassies – who have left their homes to serve the country, and local residents will be glad to know the names of their fellow citizens who have joined up.
Relatives of serving men and women are therefore invited to fill up the form which appears below and thus co-operate in helping to compile a representative list. Similar forms will be published regularly during the war.
We shall also be glad to receive information of transfers, promotions, decorations, etc.
