The Roll of Honour website is dedicated to those men and women who fell fighting for their country. Recorded there are various war memorials within a variety of counties and it is fully intends to complete as many war memorials in the United Kingdom as possible. There is a page for Tharston.

A booklet is being prepared on all those included on the Roll of Honour and the current version is available on the Publications page.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission - a commemoration to the 1.7 million men and women of the Commonwealth forces who died in the two world wars is a very useful source of information.
