World War 1 Memorial Trail – Harbury’s Men of WW1

There are 34 men honoured on Harbury’s War Memorials.

On this page you can read a Memoir of each person, together with a link to their page on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website. These, together with various photographs, certificates, articles and other related items, we hope paint a picture of each individual and go some way to honouring their ultimate sacrifice.
