About this blog

A blog regarding the thousands of entries in the book The County of Warwickshire Roll of Honour 1914-2005 - Volume 1 South Warwickshire by Kenneth Fowler.
First published by Able Publishing.

Here we will list errors that we believe we have found and the details of the Men of WW1 which the researchers at the time could not find. Since publication nearly 20 years ago numerous new records have become available online.

We also found that the book had a tendency to fit the "wrong man into the right hole" using CWGC records when often the man had not been given a CWGC grave but we found his death using local death records.
