World
War 1& 2 - Detailed Information
Compiled and Copyright © Transcribed by Carolynn Langley; Researched
by Lynda Smith - 2003
additional information Darroll Pardoe
The
War Memorial stands near the church at Sandringham.
It is very badly weathered
in places and is in Gothic script. Consequently it is difficult to read.
The following is an attempt to research those commemorated, but we will
appreciate any further information. Some
extracts have been taken from "War Service Roll of the Members
of the Royal Household" reprinted by Naval & Military Press.
Recently the Queen paid
tribute and this was covered in an article
by the Eastern Daily Press 24 which they have kindly allowed us
to reproduce.
