With very many thanks to Andrew Thornton, an expert on Old Contemptibles, for helping us to compile this list of names of members of the West Cornwall Branch, based in Camborne. This information is drawn from the Old Contemptibles Magazines number 50 (published in February 1938) and number 47 (published November 1937).
Andrew has a highly informative Facebook page – https://m.facebook.com/OldContemptibles1914/
The Old Contemptibles banner still hangs in Camborne Church.
