"Every story made me cry." Comment to committee member
"What an amazing feat ! You have produced a wonderful record for generations to come. So many families are now able to take comfort and pride in the stories behind their relative's supreme sacrifice. These facts are often lost over the passage of time - being too upsetting to talk about.
Although not originating from Swanley, many of the names in the book are familiar to me so I am sure that lifelong Swanley residents will know their descendants.
Thank you all for your hard working in producing this volume - something of which you should all be very proud. " J.B Via Email

"I got the book today, it's fascinating...can't put it down! My Nan's entire family is in it & quite an emotional read.So glad I bought one.Thank you. .... I can’t speak more highly of this amazing book. Reading about the lives of our fallen Swanley heroes actually brought tears to my eyes imagining the suffering of mine and other families suffering with the loss of so many of our brave young men.
