Notes:Names taken from Gildersome Cenotaph, other details were obtained from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission web-site, where additional information is available. Where only a name is shown with no details, it is because it was not possible to be certain which was the correct casualty from the list of names held on the site.
One name on the list is not complete due to vandalism of the memorial.
