South African Roll of Honour
South African Roll of Honour
This community uses the South Africa Roll of Honour 1914-1918, available as an evidence source on Lives. The South Africa Roll of Honour 1914-1918 records the names of over 11,000 South African born soldiers who died during the First World War between 1914 and 1918. The creator of the original community is no longer able to work on this community so I decided to try resurrect it and add to the work already done on it before Lives ends in March 2019. In some cases there is no SA ROH entry, but that does not mean that the person is not on it. The ROH is incomplete and is missing a lot of names and is laden with spelling mistakes making things even more complicated. Two communities are going to be added to here: The "SS Mendi Community" as well as "The In remembrance of those identified with South African Service and named on the Thiepval Memorial" community. I have already added in the names from the "Delville Wood Community" and will add in others as I find them.
