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.
