INDEX

The traveller through Sussex, as through every other English shire, will find many reminders of the Great War in church, churchyard or village green.  Some are imposing or beautiful, some, alas, are neither, or are out of keeping with the quiet peace of their surroundings.  To mention any, however striking in themselves or interesting in their connexion, would be invidious as, at the time of writing, lack of labour or material has prevented the completion of a great number of them.

The local historian of the future will bring a woeful number of his family records to a final close with the brief but glorious inscription on the common tablet where plough-boy and earl’s son are commemorated side by side.

The sketch maps accompanying this book are simply for convenience in identifying the route followed therein.  Wanderers upon the Downs and in the highways and byways at their feet will find Bartholomew’s “half-inch” map, sheet 32, the most useful.  This scale is much to be preferred to the “one inch” parent which lacks the contour colouring.
