World War 1 Servicemen
A page in construction. You can see the pictures fully by clicking on them, but I am trying to get the thumbnails in Portrait, and names underneath.
The pictures should be read in conjunction with the table below them. The original pictures are in the village hall; the table is derived from a script in the church, with the addition of Charles Coombs. I have added a (P) where I think that there is a corresponding picture.
