The South Molton men and women who served their country during World War 1

This list does not include the South Molton men who are named on the South Molton War Memorial.

It is an attempt to list and acknowledge all the South Molton men and women of the town who served from 1914-1919 and returned home. It is possible that a few names have been duplicated as some sources only gave surnames or surnames plus initials.
