Description

This volume is a detailed exploration of the impact that the Great War had on Norwood and on Lambeth in general, and on West Norwood Cemetery in particular. Not only were there burials (and some cremations) of those who died on active service, but also many hundreds of those who gave their lives overseas and were recorded on family memorials. Notably 38% of these have no known grave. In addition, many others who contributed to the war effort in other ways came to rest at Norwood. This book seeks to present as detailed a picture as is now possible of the sacrifices made by the individulas and families of Norwood and eslewhere as recorded in the cemetery. Overall this volume describes 595 servicemen or women who died either during, or after the war of service-related conditions, 27 who served and died well after the war, and 16 civilians.
