From the introduction:
THURSLEY WAR MEMORIAL
There are twenty-seven names on the War Memorial located in the cemetery of teh Church of St Michael and All Angels. They are the persons who died in both World wars, 1914-1918, and 1939-1945, in the service of their country and for the cause of freedom from tyranny and oppression.
Each has a different story to tell, sometimes of bravery, sometimes of fear, but always of commitment to that for which he fought.
As we read their stories, we will also be aware of those they left behind, families, loved ones as well as friends; they had to live with the burden of grief and pain for long after.
As we remember the dead, we must also have compassion for those who followed, for whom, possibly, the tragedy never ended.
For all -
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
There follows a brief biography of each of the 27 brave men
