A definitive Roll of Honour for the Bailiwick of Guernsey has
not yet been found. The largest single list of names appears on the Bailiwick
Memorial at the top of Smith Street in St. Peter Port. However, it is far from
being a complete record of those who gave their lives.
Entries
on our Roll of Honour were originally based on this list, and have been cross
checked against:
- Inscriptions on local memorials and others
The
Commonwealth War Graves Commission database -
Soldiers
Died in the Great War 1914-1919 -
Officers
Died in The Great War 1914-1919 -
Australian,
Canadian and French archives. - Local newspapers and the UK
National Archive
- Military & census records
|
Additional names and information come
from from headstones and memorials in various cemeteries and also from local newspapers,
school and Parish rolls. Several hundred photographs of graves and memorial inscriptions
have been taken in Belgium, France, The Channel Islands and the UK and this work
continues.
Some names appear on more than one memorial and
have been cross referenced.
We have been fairly liberal
in our requirements for inclusion.
- Born in the Bailwick
- Bailiwick
parents (one or both)
- Residents (English)
- Residents
(French and other nationalities)
- Service in the RGM including the
Permanent Staff
- Schooling in Guernsey
- Service in
Guernsey while serving with the
RGM or other Bailiwick based unit - Family
records

In short, if there
is a reasonable connection with Alderney, Guernsey or Sark, they will be included.
The
information found so far is as accurate as we can make it. However, if you have
extra information or corrections, we would be pleased to hear from you.
A searchable Excel spreadsheet can be downloaded from here.
This is our working file of Bailiwick names and is only available to Group members.
We are grateful for all the information and photographs supplied by
other people.
If you feel you can provide additional information
or corrections, please contact
