| We present here the summary of the signatures inside Annie Potter's Autograph Book. She wrote a list on the inside of the front and back covers, and these have been cross-matched to entries signed by the soldiers themselves. Sometimes there is a difference in the spellings of the names, and we have presented both versions of the names, in columns 1 and 3.
There are a number of signatories in the book for which there are no equivalent entries on the inside covers. These are listed in the third section below.
The information has been collated from close examination of the book and the scans of the pages, and is presented here in good faith. If anyone finds errors or discrepancies, or has additional information to offer on individual soldiers, we would be pleased to be contacted so that this page can be updated.
