Currently the database is not fully functional.

This database was compiled by BBC Radio Leicester under their About Leicester section of the web site. The data has since been expanded and will be gradually added to in the future. Searches by name are not fully functional as the database was original built with initials only.

Entries have been supplemented with information from the 'Soldiers Died in the Great War' CD and information from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Additional information has then been drawn from other reference documents, for example, National Roll of the Great War and de Ruvigny's Roll of Honour.

Links are provided to the war memorials that exist on-line for these men wherever pertinent and any photographs also linked. Hopefully this will provide a comprehensive set of information.

For further details of the museum see this website.
