Note – researching Suffolk War Memorials is normally outside my scope, but having been asked if I could take images, I could not resist the urge to find out a little bit more myself about each name, before turning to the excellent website that documents Hadleigh in the Great War to see what they had found out. I have added a postscript for each name to indicate whats available on the relevant Hadleigh site webpage.
They shall not grow old, as we grow old. At the setting of the sun, and in the morning, we shall remember them.
