    I'm afraid a list of the personnel at the Western Heights listed on the memorial would be impossible Lorraine. This is an area I am researching, and can state that no-one holds this infomation. Not the museum or even the National Archives. The closest one could potentially get would be a list of Battalions and even that becomes tough, and especially prior to 1900. Battalions were posted sometimes for very short periods, often in transit, and the records are fragmentary. The Battalion records that do exist tend to list officers and not the enlisted personnel.

    As far as I can tell, there were no service deaths from WW1 caused by enemy action as the Heights was never bombed. On the other hand, a list of service deaths from WW2 from the Heights is possible. Names and details I have identified I send to Maggie for inclusion on the DWMP website and update her regularly. These, by default, would be included on the memorial anyway.
