Visitors will discover short biographies of almost all the soldiers commemorated on the Hemel Hempstead War Memorial. I have created the site as an act of remembrance for the sacrifice made by each of these men during what was an "epoch-making" event due to its unprecedented scale and destruction, the first use of modern weaponry like chemical weapons, its global reach, the collapse of empires, and the political and social upheavals it caused, including the rise of new ideologies and the reshaping of national borders. 

​

To navigate the site please use the menu bar at the top of each page. To read the stories of the individual men go to "Biographies" in the menu bar and you will discover a full list in both alphabetical and chronological order. There you can search each soldier by clicking his name which will take you to his page. To return please use the menu bar at the top of the page or the "Biography Search" button at the bottom.

The site is free to access, however you may wish to make a donation to either the Royal British Legion or the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, two organisations which carry out such important work to support ex- service personnel and to maintain the memory of all people who fell during armed conflicts. Links to both these organsiations can be found at the bottom of each page.
