Banstead Cottage Homes (Beechholme) Great War Memorial Ver2
Researching The Roll of Honour

As a result of reading about the new plaque that BHRG member Ted Bond arranged, to commemorate the lives of the Beechholme staff and boys who were killed in WWI, Rachel and Jim Stapleton contacted us and offered to research those listed on the Roll of Honour.

Rachel and her husband have already researched many of the men, and their research to date can be accessed using the links below.

Thank you also to John Dickenson who has been of great help in researching the Canadians listed on this memorial.

Should you have any information on any of the men listed, we would be delighted to hear from you here.
