Over 12,000 men from Northampton (including Far Cotton, Kingsthorpe & St. James) listed along with their regiment and rank. I've copied below information from a slip of paper found within the Roll.
If you cannot open Adobe files and wish me to look up an entry for you then please send me a PM.

"This Roll of Honour was prepared in 1916 by a Sub Committee of the Finance Committee. It contains the names of the men serving in the Great War at that time. It is possible that a few names were added later, but it is not an accurate account of all men who served or who lost their lives in the Great War."
For correspondence relating to the Roll see file no. 593/1.
