    Collection in context

    In 1925, Aberdeen city began compiling names for the First World War Roll of Honour. H.G. Pope, the city assessor, began by sending a survey about fallen service members to the households of Aberdeen. To ensure accuracy, Rolls of Honour from schools, guilds, and churches were also collected. After eliminating any duplicate names, the Roll of Honour exceeded 5,000 Aberdeen citizens. In 1945, another Roll of Honour was created to memorialise those who fell in service during the Second World War. A third list was created in 1946 to honour those fallen in subsequent conflicts that is still in use today.
