Prescot Roll of Honour



	This web site is dedicated to the men of Prescot, Lancashire, who gave their lives for King and Country in the Great War 1914-1919, and also to those men who served and returned home. Use the links on the left of this page to go to the casualty detail pages, to read about the men who came home and also to find out more about the town's memorials. The email address above can be used to contact the author and I would especially like to hear from relatives of any of the men included. I would be happy to include any additional information or photographs which may be provided. Please sign the Guest Book if you wish to simply leave a message. Thank you for visiting the site.
