SGDW: Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914-19 was originally published by His Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO) in 1921. It covered deaths within the period from 4th August 1914 (the declaration of war) to 11th November 1918 (Armistice Day) and, in some but not all cases, up to 25th March 1921. It lists the names of 661,960 Other Ranks. We are grateful to Ian Whitlock of Leatherhead for his help with SDGW.

W SCARFE
This name also appears on the War Memorial at St Laurence, Effingham as Pte W Scarfe, East Surrey Regiment, d 03/02/1915. However, research by the Effingham Local History Group has since shown that that was a mis-spelling on the Effingham memorial (it should have been SCARFF).
