Pershore

1915 Almanac - Roll of Honour

Contents
This is the 1915 almanac published by Fearnside and Martin [a Pershore printers - there was still a Fearnsides newsagent and stationers in Bridge Street until the 1970s]. I would think it was published around January 1915, having been compiled sometime in December 1914, though this is just a guess. Note: this is the raw listing as published.
I've combined the information listed here with that on my other Pershore listings, plus a number of sources, eith the intent of producing a detailed page about Pershore Men in the Great War.



THE ROLL OF HONOUR

of Men whose homes are at Pershore, or who have left the Town, to serve
their King and Country.

This list only contains the names of Men from the In-town Wards of Pershore.

COMPILED BY MR. W. WRIGHT, NEWLANDS.

The Publishers have endeavoured to make this list as complete as possible,
but cannot be responsible for any errors, misdescriptions, or inaccuracies.
