The book serves as a bridge to the past for future generations and descendants, providing detailed accounts of 163 individuals from De Beauvoir who died in WWI.
Emily Thornberry, MP for Islington South & Finsbury, praised the work of uncovering the individual stories of those from De Beauvoir who sacrificed their lives during the war.
Understanding the history of the individuals, including their birthplaces and places of service, adds depth to their names on the memorial, fostering community identity.
The research into these historical figures by volunteers Amanda Davies and Fiona Darbyshire is a vital contribution to honoring the legacy of the local community.
