Notes

The Roll of Honour records the names of pupils who served in the first world war, and those who died. It does not give the name of a school, however the memorial is located in a village hall which is shown on old maps as being an "Infant School". I assume this is the school in question. From its location it would have served the Siddington and Capesthorne areas.

Two years are given for each name. I assume these are the years the pupils entered and left the school. If that is correct, then the most senior pupil to have served in the 1914 - 1918 war was Fred GUPWELL who entered the school in 1878 and attended for nine years. The most junior pupil to have served was Bertram HIBBERT who left school in 1914 after nine years there.

There is another memorial in the same hall. It records the names of residents of Siddington and Capesthorne who served and who fell in the first world war.
