Cheshire County Memorial Project

Cheshire County Memorial Project is creating a single source Memorial Roll to the estimated 26,000 men from the County who fell during the Great War 1914-18 and around 10,000 from WW2 1939-45, and now all conflicts since. They are also adding stories of those who served and came home.

If your relative fell or if you have pictures, documents or any information on any of the men and women from the County the Project would like to hear from you.

The Roll is based on pre 1974 County Boundary changes so it does include parts of what is now South Manchester and the Wirral.

News release, 3 October 2018

Cheshire County Memorial Project is delighted to announce three major changes to the Roll of Honour. These new features now make the county roll open to all those who have served in our armed services in conflicts since 1914.

1. We are now expanding the roll to cover all conflicts since 1914 to the present day. These conflicts will include:

  • Afghanistan
  • Iraq
  • Gulf War
  • Kosovo
  • Falklands
  • Northern Ireland
  • Malayan Conflict
  • Suez Crisis
  • Korean War

2. A roll of honour should include those who served and came home. In all these conflicts and of course including the Great War and WW2 we also want to know the stories of those who returned.

3. There is now a members section where you can now add your relatives story or any one you have researched. Simply click on the sign in tab on the home page create your account and then add your pictures and stories, these can be from any of the conflicts, if you want to add more than one person simply click the icon again to add another. If the soldier is already listed on the roll you can search edit his/her information. The information will then be approved by an administrator before publishing on the website.

This is a massive expansion to the county roll of honour, one that is unique as it now includes all conflicts; no other county is doing anything like this. If your relative came from the county, we want to ensure they are remembered.
