Tutbury WW II Roll of Honour – British Legion Photograph

The Tutbury WWII Roll of Honour
Royal British Legion Photograph

Men on the 1947 British Legion Photograph at Tutbury Castle

The three pictures below are taken from a photograph, circa 1947, of the Royal British Legion at Tutbury Castle.  They are the fathers, grandfathers, uncles and great uncles, or even family friends, of people alive today.  
People have very kindly given names to many of these men in the picture, a lot of whom are on the Tutbury WWII Roll of Honour.

However, there may have been some transcription errors and we need to check that we have the right names against the right people in the picture before they are added to the Facsimile of the Tutbury WWII Roll of Honour, to be published later this year. 

  •  Could you please check to see if you know any of the men in the picture and see if we have the right names.
  •  Also, if they are listed as being on the Roll of Honour (RoH), do you have a better picture of them for the book, could we have a copy?

Please get in touch about the men in photographs using Facebook DM or the contact form at the bottom of the page stating the number and name of the person in the pictures.

Or contact Rick and Jane Nuth, Andricks Research Group,  81O 166  (O1283)

Note – the list of the names on the WWII Tutbury Roll of Honour can be found here.
