The Manchester University war memroial is split into two plaques, the top one commemorates those who died in World War 2 and the lower plaque those hwo die din World War 1. The transcription here currently contains only those who died in World War 1, 511 names. The World War 2 plaque contains 157 names. On 11th November 2001 a new plaque commemorating and listing the World War 2 dead was placed above the World War 1 plaque. This replaced a small bronze plaque which had formerly only had the inscription 'In Remembrance 1939-1945'. The details were researched by two members of the academic staff. The original plaque was presented to Worsley Royal British Legion in January 2002
