Roll of Honour
The war memorials in All Saint's Church, Granby, and St Andrew's Church Langar, commemorate the men from both Parishes and Congregation who gave their lives in the Great War and the Second World War.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
​At the going down of the sun, and in the morning We will remember them.”

Unless stated otherwise, all the information including photographs of Grave Registration Reports and Panel Lists were obtained from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Grave Registration Reports are standard forms which detail graves for which the Commission is responsible within a particular burial ground. They provide basic details of the individuals, such as name, service number, rank, regiment, unit and date of death, and are listed in Plot, Row and Grave order.
Panel Lists​ are lists of individuals commemorated on memorials or screen walls and reflect the details and layout inscribed on the panels. Individuals are commemorated in this way when their loss has been officially declared by their relevant service but there is no known burial for the individual, or in circumstances where graves cannot be individually marked, or where the grave site has become inaccessible and unmaintainable.
