ROBERTSBRIDGE WAR MEMORIAL

World War 1 & 2 - Roll of Honour with detailed information
Compiled and copyright © Transcribed Janet Graves; Researched Martin Edwards

Robertsbridge is a small village 5 miles from Battle. The majority of the buildings in the village are Tudor. St Mary's Church, Salehurst, about 1 mile from Robertsbridge serves both villages. The Church is undergoing extensive restoration, and this includes the churchyard. Much of the churchyard is overgrown and the gravestones are crumbling. The photograph of the war grave of Pamela Eleanor Granville Bradshaw is enclosed in a fenced off area (Bradshaw's grave known because the remaining 2 listed on the CWGC site for Salehurst were found) the grass being reduced by a family of sheep. All except one of the names are also to be found inside the church at Salehurst.

Although the names are listed by Regiment and then surname on the memorial the names listed here have been sorted into alphabetical order for ease of reading.
