St Barnabas' Church Clapham First World War Memorial

St Barnabas' Clapham Common First World War Memorial

The names of these men are recorded on the First World War Memorial

at St Barnabas' Church, Clapham Common

This information is taken from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission database.

Where no information is given below, this is usually because the database shows several men with

the same name and initials but with no address to link any of them to Battersea.

The addresses were correct at the time that the CWGC Register was completed, after the War,

rather that at the time when the men were killed, and not all families sent in their details.
