King’s Road: for King and Country — Judy Sutton & Helen Little

Description

Born out of a desire to commemorate those men from King’s Road, St Albans, who lost their lives in the Great War, the road’s current residents suggested the idea of a lasting memorial.

Then came the task of researching the lives and the families of those men. It involved many hours of leafing through old newspapers and archives, obtaining advice from local and national bodies and seeking help from relatives of the deceased.

A further memorial – this book, which includes a brief history of this street – is the result.

The book was compiled by Compiled by Judy Sutton & Helen Little with help and support from many others.
