The Burnley Roll of Honour for the
Great War
Burnley Men Who Gave Their Lives in the Great War
by Andrew Gill and Alan
Mackay
"Small time, but in that small most greatly lived these stars of England"
This Roll of Honour which lists the men who lost their lives during the war, is the first stage of a project originally launched over 20 years ago by Alan Mackay and then completed and computerised by myself, to identify all the men from Burnley who served in the Great War. I would like to thank all the members of the East Lancashire Medal and Militaria Society who helped to fill in some of the gaps and especially Dennis Otter for his incredible help with the photographs .
If you have any information
or photographs of any of these men, or are looking for information please
