Introduction
The upper section of the war memorial in the courtyard of Whitstable Library has the names of the the town's Service personnel and civilians who gave their lives during the Second World War.
The following are the names as supplied to The Whitstable Improvement Trust in 1996 to complete their list for the 1939 - 1945 memorial.
As we learn more about these people we will update this page. If you can tell us anything we can include it here to honour these townspeople.
