Description

A plaque in memory of the Isle of Wight Old Contemptibles who survived the Great War, giving name, regiment and date of death.

167 Men are listed, who died between 1937 and 1985. The Notes column below is derived mainly from the Medal Index Rolls maintained by the Army Medal Office, and the entries are the most likely for the men named. Where there is no information in this column, this is because there was more than one possible entry for the name in the Medal Index Rolls.

Thanks to Tony Bevis for tracking down the Memorial
