The
memorial is situated inside the Guildhall, which is in the centre
of the High Street and is open to the public. It is a Roll Of Honour
that lists the names of every citizen of Worcester who saw active
service during World War 1 (not just those who were in the Worcester
Regiment or even in the forces). There are 4981 names listed, of
whom 741 were killed. Those who died have a gold cross beside their
names (for the purposes of this transcription we have used a red
cross as the gold did not show up very clearly). The Roll of Honour
is situated behind six wooden panels in the entrance hall, each
with double doors that open easily. They are not recorded in total
alphabetical order as new names have been added over the years as
visitors etc. come forward with details of a relative/ancestor who
has been missed off for whatever reason.
To
document this memorial it has been necessary, due to the size, to
split the this memorial into several pages. The first six show the
various panels with names and there is a further set of pages for
those who died which in itself has been split. |
