Those underlined are a clickable link to a page on this site, containing either more detailed information or another roll on which the name appears. Further information on all those named above can be found on the WW1 Lest We Forget pages

Thanks and immense credit for additional research and information goes to Martin Edwards at Roll-of-Honour.com, where much more information regarding these soldiers can also be found.

The full names and regiments are the most likely for the names found on the memorial, but there may be errors. The monument is weather worn and lettering has been eroded.

Many of these names can also be found on the cenotaph in Southampton, which is transcribed here.

I have specifically not included details of rank in this list - every man who was listed here died an equal.
