Parish War Memorial, Roll of Honour 1914-1918

The war memorial is in the form of a stone wheel-cross surmounting a square plinth and two-stepped base and is located on the north-west of the tower at All Saints Parish church in Granby. The inscription is on a tablet mounted to the front face of the plinth and reads:
'To the glory of god and in honoured memory of those who gave their lives in the Great War 1914-1918'
'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends'

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.
