Roll of Honour, St John, Walton, Cheshire.

Note

The WW1 RoH originally had three columns of names. When the columns became full but more names needed to be added, they were squeezed into the spaces between existing names. This resulted in a jumbled layout. I have transcribed the names, but not attempted to copy the layout.
