Armadale Roll of Honour

13 September 2009

This is a page of data that has been now been updated by Tom Gordon on his excellent website. You are recommended to visit his site for more detailed, and additional information.

Tom Gordon is compiling a book on Armadale and the Great War, to include Woodend, Blackridge, Westrigg, Southrigg, and Northrigg. He would like to hear from anyone who had relations that fought and died in the Great War, or fought and returned. He is interested in old photographs and memorabilia and any information that can help him to write his book.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is a site which contains information on the burial places of Commonwealth soldiers, sailors and air crew.
