As with World War 1 the outbreak of war in 1939 saw the call up of Reservists and men and women of the village volunteer for and later be conscripted into the armed forces. The village losses were thankfully less than in the Great War but equally as painful for their families and friends. All are remembered on the village war memorials. Whilst access to World War 2 personnel records is not yet as widely available as it is for World War 1 Casualties we have put together these short Casualty pen-pictures in honour of their sacrifice and to mark the 75th Anniversary of VE Day.
