On 7 May 1915 the Aldershot Gazette and Military News reported that upwards of 160 names of Ash men serving in the Army and Navy had been posted in the porch at St Peter’s Church.
The Surrey Advertiser 5 June 1915 reported that Scout Master Scott of the Ash Troop had enlisted as a signaller in the Royal Engineers. The Surrey Advertiser 31 July 1915 reported that Mr Ogden, formerly the foreman at the supply depot Aldershot and an Ash Parish Councillor, had joined the colours as a Sgt Major and was now serving with Royal Engineers at Chatham. The Aldershot News of 2 July 1915 reported that another 20 names had been added to the roll of honour hanging in the church porch at Ash, and that this brought the total number of men now serving from the parish to 180 men. A memorial service was held for those who had given their lives. Buglers came from Aldershot to sound the last post and memorial leaflets contained the names of the men who had died:
