It is in a plain wooden frame and glazed – this appears to be reasonably contemporary with the document. However, the back board has been replaced with a newer piece of hardboard and modern tape.
Inset into the mounting board are two Great War era woven silk cards.
The list is typewritten and comprises of four columns of names – in most cases an initial and surname – with rank in the case of officers
Despite being behind glass the paper is dirty and discoloured and may well have been exposed to the elements sometime before framing. The type is faded in some areas and there is one spot of damage and loss to the paper – crucially on one of the names. The paper itself is in two parts joined together at the bottom.
At some later date a handwritten addition has been entered against some names (in what appears to be red ballpoint pen) either “KILLED”, “DIED” or (in one case) “DROWNED”. The names so marked coincide with known casualties listed on the village war memorial – except in one case – “P Lankester”.
This is believed to be Percy Aaron Lankester who was originally from the neighbouring parish of Whitton. His details can be found on the Ipswich War Memorial website at
