Abingdon and the First World War
Those Who Served
Occupations of Abingdon Families in World War I
The town of Abingdon contained a fairly diverse working population as there was no single dominant industry or workplace as in many other towns of the period. We know of professionals such as architects and solicitors; we know of business owners running shops, stonemasons, coal merchants, and men employed as gardeners, shop assistants, clerks and engine supervisors.
