This Book of Photographs
of some of the fallen of
Whitchurch 1914-1918
was Re-bound and Recovered by the
Whitchurch Branch of the
Royal British Legion
The cost of the work involved was
borne form a Legacy to the Branch
by the Late Mrs F. Dance.
The Refurbishing of this Book
is therefore Dedicated to
The Fallen of the 1914-1918 War
The late Mrs F, Dance and
Members of the Whitchurch Branch
Royal British Legion 1985.
This book was returned to the
Vicar of All hallows Church
for Safe Keeping on
Sunday 10th November 1985.

   This book contains the pohotographs
of someof the Men of this place who left
all that was dear to them, endured
hardship, faced danger, and finally
passed out of the sight of men by the
path of duty and self sacrifice   They
gave up their lives that others might live
in freedom
   Let those who come after them see
to it that these manes be not forgotten.
