Roll of Honour
Below is a list of men and women from the local area who died in the First World War. It has been collated from all the war memorials in the area, as well as information from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and other local sources.
But the information is far from complete and we would like to gather together as much information on these people, and any others from the area who served in the conflict. If you can help us by contributing any documents, photographs, objects or stories that you have then please contact us at: rollofhonour@blhs.org.uk.
