References and notes
| |
The information in our Rolls of Honour have been compiled using two primary sources: HMSO's Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914-19, Volume 39, The Border Regiment and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission database. These have been used for consistency to ensure that any transcriptions are as accurate as possible, with the exception of discrepancies between the two sources and typos that occur from time to time. Additional sources, where used, have been referenced separately below. For soldiers that survived the war, their details do not contain the memorial scroll and are not listed in the Rolls of Honour. However, each individual has his own remembrance page to be remembered with honour.
For the Lonsdale Battalion Roll of Honour a secondary and carefully researched source, The Lonsdale War Grave Project, has been used to fill in some gaps with information not available in the aforementioned sources. Permission has been kindly granted by the owner for use here. For further information about the fields used above see Notes and definitions for soldier remembrance pages. | |
