ASLACKBY WAR MEMORIAL

World War 1 - Roll of Honour with detailed information
Compiled and Copyright © Michael Peck 2007

There are a variety of memorials and rolls of honour for Aslackby. These all cover World War 1, none for World War 2. There is a memorial plaque in the church, a clock with plaque and a roll of honour all within the church of St James. The church clock was erected to those who died in World War 1 and there is a oak board inside the south porch on the right hand wall with a dedication. There is a triangular-headed bras plaque mounted within a glass fronted wooden frame with 11 names and a nowy-headed marble tbalet with a moulded border inscription in black lettering with the same 11 names which was unveiled 15th June 1920 by the Earl of Ancaster. Addiitonally there is a handwritten Roll of Honour enclosed in a wooden frame with glass front containg the names of the 42 men who served and returned and the 11 names of those men who were not so lucky.

To the glorious memory of the men of Aslackby who gave up their lives in the war 1914 – 1919.
