First 15 pages of this title in Adobe Acrobat PDF format

This is another very rare memorial book covering a small but important group of people who died in the Great War. It lists those killed from both Members and Clerks [of the Stock Exchange] together with their units and decorations. The Members then each have a biography detailing their civilian life and military career. The circumstances of their death are generally reported and sometimes details are revealed that would otherwise remain unknown under the umbrella phrases, ‘killed in action’ or, ‘died of wounds’ or, ‘died’. For example, one officer was, ‘killed suddenly on 6 January 1916 whilst being motored in the dark over one of that district’s many level crossings.’ Lieutenant Henry Webber, who at 68 was one of the oldest to be killed, also features. A rather nice photograph accompanies each biography.
