Roll of Honour, Second World War
During this war it was customary to read the list of men and women who were away from church serving in the Forces at home or overseas. This was done once a month at Sunday service. These names were never recorded in any minute books of the church and to include the few names known to present members of the congregation at the expense of the many unknown is not felt to be just. For all who did serve their country they will be remembered with honour and gratitude.
