Author: Jill E King Publisher: C.C. Publishing (Chester) ISBN: 978-0-949001-63-4 PRICE (UK) £15.00
This latest, thoroughly researched book from local historian, Jill King, documents the lives of the 32 servicemen whose names are listed on the brass memorial plaque in St. John's Church, Sandiway. Jill felt that for too long the inscriptions had been merely a list of names and after all they and their kinsfolk endured, it hardly seemed enough.
It is learnt where those who fell lived and worked, about their families and the anguish their loss caused. There are poignant anecdotes from family and friends and details of each casualties service, when and how they came to lose their lives and where they are remembered. There is a moving story behind each and every one of these brave young men.
