The concept was agreed with the estate agent as part of the Cuckfield Remembers commemorations nearly a year ago.
The driving force in preparing the images was orchestrated by residents Sue Burgess and Philippa Malins who obtained the information about each servicemen from the village library, where a book by Shirley Bond lists their name, age, regiment and where and when they died.
Marcus said “We thought it would be rather nice to do something a bit more personal than just a name.
“The photographs and detail make their sacrifice just that more real.”
