The War Memorials
The World War 2 memorial in St.Oswald's Church, Collingham lists 11 men of the village who served and gave their lives in World War Two. In addition, the Memorial for Linton, in Linton Memorial Hall, provides the names of a further seven men who served and died, and the memorial board in Collingham Memorial Hall combines these two lists. Their names and their stories are listed on the left.
