  • The Roll of Honour is not signed, and no evidence has been found in the Company records of the Artist. However the Annan Old Parish Church Roll of Honour (our reference 71537) is signed by F S Hoare, draughtsman at Cochran's. Stylistically both that and an illuminated address (see photographs) for the company, known to have been produced by Hoare (see photographs) would suggest strongly that he was also responsible for this Roll of Honour- he would certainly have been by far the most likely person.
