During
the Great War the town of Burnley (and its districts) suffered a disproportionate
amount of casualties compared to many other towns and cities in Great
Britain. The site aims to honour the men from Burnley who served in this
terrible conflict and also to show the effect of the war on the town.
It is also hoped to link to the research published by other members of
the East Lancashire Medal and Militaria
Society and also to use the site as a gateway to the Burnley Roll
of Honour database.
