The men and women of Collingham and Linton served in many regiments. Around 34% of these are as yet unidentified, but we continue to work on trying to identify men, women and their service. Please contact us if you have any information that might help. Even the smallest piece of information can help us make a connection.
Notes: Support units include Labour Corps, Army Pay Corp, Army Ordnance Corps, Army Service Corps and Royal Defence Corps. The term 'Armoured' is used here for members of the Royal Armoured Corps, the Royal Tank Regiment and the Royal Reconnaissance Corps as well as other modern armoured units.
It is interesting to see the proportion of soldiers who died during service for each of the types of unit identified above.
