WW1 Kingsbury Episcopi
This publication contains some background information on each of the men who were killed in the First World War. Their names are recorded on the War Memorials within the Civil Parish of Kingsbury Episcopi and it is this name that appears at the top of each man’s pages of information. There is also information about the men’s families. Four years of research by the Kingsbury Time Travellers, the local area History Group, have unearthed a wealth of photographs, documents, maps and memories.
