About the Lists

Listed here are people known to have worked for the principal or related enterprises, if those individuals were ultimately employed by Anglo Engraving, Sun Engraving, Rembrandt, or Sun Printers. Biographies and photographs are included where available. If an individual entered the armed forces from the company and returned to the company from the armed forces, then we have counted that person’s war service as company service as well. This applies to WWI and WWII; in WWII especially, it was not uncommon for an individual to enter the armed forces and then be seconded back to Sun for war work. One might then return to one’s service unit for demobilisation, and come back to Sun later. The companies themselves usually counted war service as company service.

Note: This list is under development and contains all names known to us as of January 2008. We update the list every three months or so. If you can provide additional information about anyone in the list, or can correct errors in the list, or if you can provide information about anyone not so far included, we would be very pleased to hear from you. Please go to “About Us” to find out how to reach us, and either write to us or send us an e-mail.

The list has been compiled from a number of sources, principally house magazines. Many of these are quite inaccurate – particularly The “Sun” at War volumes, in which some names appear with as many as three different spellings. We have therefore had some difficulty detecting and removing duplicate names.

Other than including birth and death dates (where known), for reasons of privacy we have kept personal information in this list to a minimum. We show family relationships generally only if both individuals worked at Sun. Women who worked at Sun only before their marriage are listed under their maiden names; those who worked at Sun only after their marriage are listed under their married names; those who worked at Sun both before and after marriage are listed under the name by which most people would have known them, but with a cross-reference to the other name.

We have retained personal information in our files and have been able to put people in touch with each other. If you want to contact someone who is listed here, and provided we already have the necessary information ourselves, we will obtain that person’s permission before supplying you with his or her address and/or phone number.
