Croydon and the Great War

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Englishmen stood shoulder to shoulder in this gigantic life-and-death struggle, and the blows England dealt were heavy with the weight of the whole nation. Croydon sent men to the War, and of these, alas, never came back returned wounded, and they and the unwounded (the more fortunate remaining half of Croydon's fighters) received many medals and honours for their bravery, besides having acquired the esteem and admiration of their fellow citizens.
