The men featured here are listed on Brandon’s War Memorial, situated in the Cemetery in the town. It lists the names of all Brandon men who fell during the ‘Great War’. Some of their bodies were never found and so are listed on distant memorials in foreign lands, others did receive a burial, whether it be in the UK, in a foreign field in Europe, Israel, Turkey or Iraq, or as in the case of two men who died of their wounds shortly after Armistice Day they are buried in Brandon’s Cemetery. It is worth considering that there are some men from Brandon who were killed in action but who do not feature on the memorial. Please click on a name below to read their story.
