The
details used to create this database are from an original
work entitled "Abingdon
(Borough) Roll of Service August 1914 - June 1919".
The
details recorded here are based on this information but have
been expanded with further details and some corrections. The
photographs Copyright © Roll of Honour 2001, 2002, 2003,
2004, 2005.
The
entries have been added to using the 'Soldiers
Died in the Great War' CD and information from the Commonwealth
War Graves Commission. Additional information has then
been drawn from other reference documents, for example, National
Roll of the Great War and de Ruvigny's.
Links
are provided to the war memorials that exist on-line for these
men wherever pertinent and any photographs also linked. Hopefully
this will provide a comprehensive set of information.
Extract
from the preface of the book:
HISTORY
AND OBJECT
The
movement for the compilation of the Abingdon (Borough) Roll
of Service was commenced in 1916. It wass felt that a list
of all men serving from the town during the War should be
available and afterwards inscribed on Vellum for preservation
in the Borough buildings as a permanent Record.
The
suggestion was made to the local Soldiers' and Sailors' Families
Association Committee who adopted it, the Chairman (Mr. T.
Skurray) agreeing to bring the matter before the Town Council
with an offer from the Committee to undertake the compilation
of the Roll on the Council's behalf. The offer being accepted,
the work was commenced and has been carried on almost continuously
from then until its completion in this issue. A thorough canvass
of the entire Town was twice made, very house being visited
each time in order to collect the information required. Great
care has been taken by those responsible to obtain and record
the details correctly and in addition a Proof Copy of the
whole Roll, when completed, was published in The North Berkshire
Herald to provide the fullest opportunity for the rectification
of errors.
The
Roll gives the following particulars, in the order stated,
qualification for inclusion being based on either birth within
the Borough or residence in it of not less than six months
prior to enlistment:- Name, Honours (if any), Address (at
enlistment of from where information was obtained), Rank (Officers
and N.C.O's.), Regiment or Ship, Period of Service, Area of
Service Abroad (if any). The names of the men who died on
service are printed in heavier type, date, place, etc. of
death being given after the other particulars, those wounded
are indicated by an atserisk. Regular pre-war service is given
as from August 1914, and the commencing date only of the period
of service of those who were not demobilised by the end of
June 1919. |
