    Is there an actual book of remembrance somewhere in which the names of these people are added, Chris? I know there is a book of remembrance in St George's Chapel, Westminster Abbey for at least some of the WW2 civilians killed by enemy action.

    The original books are in Westminster Abbey as you say. There is a possibility of them being reprinted due the large number of amendments & additions.
