About the Cheshire Roll Of Honour

The Cheshire Roll of Honour was set up in 2014, It is a volunteer group designed to bring together the lives of those from the county whom during a time of conflict have served in our Armed Forces. It covers the period from Boer War to the present day.

It is a massive undertaking and one that will continue to grow. In August 2016, the Cheshire Roll of Honour became a Not-for-Profit Association and since then has received help from Cheshire East, Manchester Airport, and Cheshire Archives (Shared Services).

This project is open to anyone who would like to contribute, there a member's section where you can submit your research or you can simply contact us if you would like to write about an individual, a complete Village or Town, a works or School memorial, then please contact us. There is no end date these pages will continually be worked on.

Since the Roll began some amazing people including Chris Booth, Trevor Ratcliffe, Tony Davies, Graeme Ainsworth, Harry Carlisle, Rosie Rowley, John Pullen, Simon Gildea, David Minshall, Steve Merrill have researched and written truly fascinating individual stories that would have remained undiscovered. Many more people throughout Cheshire, the UK and from around the world, who have a family connection with the county have sent in information and pictures to the Roll.

In 2024, The Cheshire Roll of Honour was a finalist in the Community Project of the Year awards, hosted by the Cheshire Life magazine.
