Those who served World War II

 

Some 49 men and women from the village served their country on active service or in other ways and we pay tribute to them. The village Rector at the time, Rev William Park, listed the names of those who served and the list was discovered at Ipswich Records Office. We hope the list of names below is complete, but if you know of others who were involved please use the contact box below to tell us.
