COLLECTED AND LISTED BY ERIC FRIDAY.

Sheppey Casulties WW2

The following names have been extracted from reports and family notices in the Sheerness Times and Guardian. Due to wartime censorship, fog of war, etc some details were vague, a cross check was made with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission ‘Debt of Honour Register’. Further cross checking was done against the register held at Minster Abbey and some names added. However the list cannot be guaranteed complete and 100 per cent accurate.
