Wendover Remembers

Mon 4 Aug, from 10pm, War Memorial

To mark the centenary of the declaration of war, people aged 18 to 41 in particular are invited to gather at the War Memorial at 11pm for a short commemorative service. All ages very welcome.

Here is a list of Old Boys of Wendover School, drawn from the school log. They did not all join up immediately but participated in the war. They do not all appear on the War Memorial because, thankfully, they returned. Many thanks to Val Moir who did the research. they are listed alphabetically. Apparent duplicates might be cousins.
