First World War: Roll of Honour Online

The Watford Borough Roll of Honour is a hand written book thought to be designed by the Watford School of Art to remember the 830 service men who fought and died during the First World War.  There are over 500 other service men who fought during the First World War who do not feature in the Borough book.

Below you can search a database of all the known Watford service men who fought and died during the First World War with biographies and their memorial locations.
