A List of Remembrance - We Will Remember Them

Below is a list of those who died in the Great War of 1914-1918 from the Parish of Eaton. The list has been compiled by the Reverend Colin Way from names on the Eaton War Memorial in Newmarket Road and the Eaton Roll of Honour, together with one or two added later by relatives.

Please email further information, amendments and corrections to the Reverend Colin Way.

Names in italics denote brothers who have died.
