The fact that only one man is attributed a rank, number and regiment may be indicative that he was particularly well known to Miss MacMillan, the Guild Secretary.
Durham Record Office hold two drafts of rolls of honour for the whole village. These reveal that eight out of the twelve men from this lead mining settlement to die were Wesleyans. Photographs and a transcription can be seen here http://www.newmp.org.uk/detail.php?contentId=8479
