Reference
  • Carlisle Archive Centre - Documents Reference DFCP 3/67, 68 and 71 (researchers may also like to see no. 72) File DFCP 3/67 gives the names of the 29 men who died in WW1, and the 126 who served and returned. File DFCP 3/68 gives the names of the 9 men and women who died in WW2, one, it will be noted was a Presbyterian Missionary. The file also gives their service details. File DFCP 3/71 gives the names of the 63 men and women who served and returned. These are forms which were filled in and returned by the people concerned themselves- giving their home addresses directly after the war and details of their theatres of war. Also in the file are a few names who were excluded from the Book of Remembrance as their war service was not in the Armed Services eg- Land Army, Fire Service etc.
