Throughout
Buckinghamshire there are various memorials
and rolls of honour dedicated to those men and women who
fell in various wars. These memorials and rolls cover many
centuries in some cases, most World War One and Two.
During
any conflict there are certain acts of bravery or defiance
that are noticeable above others. For these acts citations
and medals have been awarded.
If
anybody has information for those of the Second World War,
Boer War, or the like similar to those supplied for the First
World War then I would gladly post these as well.
The
other source of information is photographs andd there are
several that have been supplied without details - do
you know who they are?
|  These
pages are available for transcripts of these memorials
and rolls of honour. If you have a transcription of,
or you are willing to transcribe, a Buckinghamshire
memorial or roll of honour for these pages then please

Current
acknowledgements for assistance with these pages must

For
those of you with an interest in the World War 1 there is
The British
Army in the Great War, World
War 1 - Trenches on the Web, the Regimental
Warpath and the Cambridgeshire branch of the Western
Front Association. Cliff Brown, Chairman of the
Cambridgeshire branch of the WFA, Lynda Smith, Dave Edwards
and Phil Cume have generously added detail to the names recorded
for many of these memorials giving details of those who died.
These names are all taken from the main local war memorial
(i.e. the town or village memorial). Some extra names are
added on the end when they crop up elsewhere in the town/village,
such as someone buried in the cemetery.
For
further reading when researching World War 1 relatives then
there is a book published by the Federation of Family History
Societies for family Historians entitled "World War
I Army Ancestry - Third Edition" by Norman Holding ISBN
1 86006 056 2.
| Throughout
Buckinnghamshire there are memorials to be found that
reveal the men and women who have served and fallen
in various wars or of the various military units that
have served from within the bounds of this area. These
pages have been dedicated to recording these memorials.
Tribute
must be paid to the Commonwealth
War Graves Commission from whose records it has
been possible to detail much of this information. |
 Please
Note: Every attempt has been made to transcribe this
information accurately but there are occasions that
the information supplied is incorrect or errors occur
during transcription. We do not wish to cause offence
to any families of the men detailed here and will
change the relevant information when informed.
Also
note that places detailed on these memorials may appear
in the wrong county. This information has been transcribed
from the records given and, as the men were parochial,
the information supplied at enlistment was the view
