SHALFORD
WAR MEMORIAL
World
War 1 - Detailed information
Compiled & Copyright © Mick Tilley 2007
The
war memorial is a cross on the village green right beside the busy A281
road into Guildford. Probably because of the traffic, it is now somewhat
difficult to read so the following transcription is from a plaque for
the First World War in the nearby church.
