The Old Elizabethan Association

This memorial contains the names of all the Old Elizabethans who died in the two World Wars, and is designed to commemorate their sacrifice.

One hundred and ten Old Elizabethans were believed to have died in the Great War; although they tried to compile a complete memorial, some names may have eluded them.

There were eight sets of brothers who died; they ranked from Brigadier-General to Private; they were aged 63 to 18.

They served with all three services, at sea, on land and in the air. They enlisted and fought with units raised in Guernsey, England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and with overseas units from Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Nepal and Uganda.

The Old Elizabethans are buried and commemorated all over the Empire from Edinburgh to Wairoa in New Zealand, from Uganda and Tanzania to Gallipoli and Basra. Some lie at home in Guernsey, but many more in Flanders. Their names are written on our memorials and our registers and on the hearts of their loved ones.

It is hoped that this list of names from both wars will inspire you to look into the victims of the wars, and make you realise the sacrifice these men have made for your freedom.
