Compiled and copyright © Stephen Nulty 2008
The
Manchester Treasurer's Department Roll of Honour and War Memorial is
to be found in the entrance vestibule of the City Treasurer's Office,
Manchester Town Hall, Albert Square, Manchester. There are actually
two boards, the smaller one recording those who died and the larger
one showing those who served (including the 10 who died). Only those
who died are listed here. The Roll of Honour contains 71 names in all.
The war memorial is in the form of a polished wood board with ebony
inlay around the edges and gold lettering. In the top, centre, is a
bronze medallion similar to the obverse of the British Victory medal.
At each side there are three original cap badges of local Regiments
including the Manchester Regiment, Lancashire Fusliers, Cheshire Regiment
and Royal Artillery with the coloured city arms appearing at the top
of the frame. There are also three names for World War 2.
