TILMANSTONE PEOPLE who served in the 1914-18 War:
A framed document in the church of St Andrew, Tilmanstone, lists Tilmanstone people who served in 1914-18 War.
Over the years the list has become faded, damp, and has been re-drawn several times. Some of the information has been lost over the years, but this is the list copied from the present one, with the surnames arranged in A-Z order. Please note: there may be discrepancies in names etc. (some given names are incorrect for instance), due to the way this list was compiled (information from residents) and re-written over the years.
