Publisher's Synopsis
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Familiar words said in Northchurch, Hertfordshire and across the country, during the annual Remembrance Day services. It is now 100 years since the First World War, and nearly 80 years since the one that followed. To many, the names of the servicemen who died during these and other conflicts are just that, names. Who were they, what was their background, what were the circumstances leading to their deaths? For those remembered each year in Northchurch, this book aims to answer some of these questions.
Amateur historians Richard North and Ray Smith have spent several years researching and writing this book. Richard is a retired IT compliance manager and Ray works for Independent Television News.
