Welcome to the Roll of Honour archive

The Roll of Honour is not a complete list or record of all local men who enlisted in Preston who lost their lives during the First World War. It only includes men who lived in the town of Preston prior to their death, based on the boundaries of Preston at the time of the war. The parish and district councils outside Preston also produced public memorials.

In addition, the Preston Roll of Honour only includes names submitted between 1916 and 1927. No charge was made to inscribe names on the Roll of Honour.
