Regrettably not all the names have been transcribed fully, since I have been working from photographs that are not to my highest standard.
The Roll of Honour is difficult to photograph well. Any corrections and additions would be welcomed !

NEWSPAPER REPORTS
ISLE OF WIGHT MERCURY
Friday, August 18, 1916
Page 5
Sapper H. Wheway, R.E., (brother of Mr. A. Wheway, station master at Wroxall), is lying ill in hospital at Mudros.
His father, Mr. W. Wheway, stationmaster at Brading, has been notified by the War Office that he is dangerously ill, but a later
letter happily says he is out of danger. He served several months in France before going to Salonica last December.
Previous to enlisting he was employed on the I.W. Railway. Another son, King's Sergt. G. Wheway, of the Royal West Kents,
is at Sheffield suffering from shrapnel wounds in the left arm and face, which he received in the Delville Wood,
where the West Kents were surrounded for 48 hours and fought heroically. He has seen 20 months' service on the Western front
and has been in several big engagements. He was made King's sergeant on Hill 60.
