My lists of the men who served in WW1 has been constructed from the four sources below. I wrote the newspaper information (2. & 3.) in pencil, in notebooks, and transcribed it all later on, at home. I have put the information in my own words.
Sources
On my listings of Coates soldiers and sailors I have included any person who was mentioned in the 'Coates News' section or for which the report, in Local Records of the Great War' stated 'of Coates'. Sometimes the section included men from Eastrea and I have indicated these.
Copyright of the soldier images is vested in the person who took the photograph as these were usually family images sent in. 100 years has passed but I will remove any images for which copyright has been retained, transferred or otherwise still exsist. The photographs and information here is to honour the men who served.

- Ancestry and Find My Past.
- Local Records of the Great War, a section which appeared in the Peterborough Advertisers during the conflict; it also stated the week number of the war.
- The Toll of Battle which appeared, from 1916, on page 8 of the Peterborough Advertiser (which is where the news from the regions is to be found); this listed servicemen who had been killed, wounded, died from wounds, were prisoners or were missing.
- The War Memorial itself in Coates which has been transcribed and researched on the Roll of Honour website. I have not duplicated information from that site so I recommend a visit.

Below left: Recruits from Coates off to war in 1914 from The Green to Whittlesey station. This image was found on Facebook in the History of Whittlesey group. In the Peterborough Advertiser 15/08/1914 we read [Local incidents in the Great War] 'About 20 young men have gone from Coates to the front.'
Horace Newell Hart (below right) was born in Coates but - at the time of the 1911 census, was living in Whittlesey. I found his photo on Facebook. He served with the Royal Field Artillery.
