THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE These details
were placed on the Internet on Armistice Day 2011 Links to more local war memorials
This web page is dedicated to the men of Glass, who at the call of King and Country left all that was dear to them, endured hardness, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of man by the path of duty and self sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom. Let those who come after see to it that their names be not forgotten. © Copyright kinnethmont.co.uk 2011 |
