WMR Reference Number: 117106
Description: Large white folder/book on the front of which is a title page featuring a dedication and a colour image of a First World War British infantryman standing in a field of poppies and silhouetted against a setting sun. The body of the book contains a separate commemoration of each of the individuals being remembered. In most cases, each commemoration consists of two pages. Where available, the left hand side is a copy of the CWGC certificate for that individual, whilst the right hand page consists of photograph and details of life, service and death. The level of detail provided varies per individual. At the front of the book is a print out of a spreadsheet showing the details and home address, where known, of each individual. The addresses are also marked on an accompanying map. The book stands on a small table which is covered by a cloth bearing a poppy motif and is set in front of the memorial to the men of the parish who died in the First World War (see WMR Ref. No. 1962).
