There are many general resources about WW2 available on the web. Here are some that are specific to our village.
Village specific resources
 | The WW2 Roll of Honour for the village can be found near the lockup and war memorial. It has a list of everyone who served in the war, with their rank and regiment. To get to a webpage that contains all this information click here. From that webpage you can also get to a webpage for each man who died in the war with more detail about them. Much of this information came from Jane Staniland’s research (see below). |
 | To see Jane Staniland’s research report: “War Memorial, Holywell-cum-Needingworth: The men who died in the Second World War 1939-1945” click here. If you would like to view or download a Word version of the text of this document you can do so here. |
