Notes
The memorial itself merely recorded each man's Army rank and surname. The forenames have been added from https://www.surreyinthegreatwar.org.uk/story/surrey-constabulary-in-the-first-world-war/ and from thorough research by Surrey Police Historian Bob Bartlett. The man in the photo has been positively identified as being Reginald Hollis Gibson of the Military Provost Staff Corps; however, a question mark hangs over whether he was actually a member of Surrey Constabulary, or was included in the photo in his role as Sergeant Major in the Military Provost Staff Corps.
