Marital status, rank and deaths

Men and women, married and single all served in World War 2. This section shows some statistics for the people who served.

What units did they serve in?

The men and women of Collingham and Linton served in many regiments. Around 38% of these are as yet unidentified, but we continue to work on trying to identify men 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. Although the term 'Armoured' was really coined later, we use it here for the precursors to modern armoured units such as the Tank Corps and the Machine Gun Corps.

Death Rates per unit

It is interesting to see the proportion of soldiers who died during service for each of the types of unit identified above.
