The following men appear on the War Memorial on Blackham Church gate
but not on the roll of honour inside.
That may be because the war memorial was made after the roll of honour
by which time the village had
learned of more men who had given their lives
| Divall, F T | Royal Sussex Regt | Killed | Sales, A H | Royal Garrison Artillery | Killed | |
| Miles, J | Royal Engineers | Killed | Stonley, E W | 11th Hussars | Killed | |
| Reed, R G | Australian Imperial Force | Killed |
Then there are men with Blackham connections who don't appear on either the roll of honour or the lychgate memorial
