COMMEMORATING THE CENTENARY OF THE GREAT WAR
1914 - 1918

Affixed to the wall of the chancel of the Church of the Martyrs, Leicester are two brass plaques commemorating those from the parish and congregation who lost their lives as a result of the Great War 1914 – 1918. The names on the plaques are provided in the two tables below.

A small group has begun researching the names of those individuals and are keen to hear from anyone with connections to any one of them. We would be particularly interested to hear of anyone with memories or photographs of them. If you have any information or wish to know more please contact us.
