COMMON WAR MEMORIAL
World
War 1 & 2 - Detailed Information
Compiled and copyright © Martin Edwards 2006
The
Colden Common War memorials reside inside the Holy Trinity Church, Colden
Common. There are two memorials in the form of metal plaques, one for
World War 1 and the other World War 2, affixed to the interior wall.
The World War 2 memorial was restored in 1987. The memorials contain
the forenames and surnames and the contingent they served with. The
names are sorted here into alphabetical order for ease of research and
reading. See Paul Goodwin's UK
Memorial web site for more photographs.
