There follows a list of the names to be found on the Memorial Chapel panels, some with only such personal details as could readily be mined from an existing coded database by automatic means. Completed entries for the remainder will be added in the near future. While the compilers will be more than pleased to receive further information on any of these via Roll of Honour, they confirm that for the great majority service history, place and circumstances of death and place of burial / memorial are already known to them.
