Names added to WW1 Roll of Honour at Liverpool Town Hall

October 3, 2019

by Editor

Servicemen will be honoured next week (9 October), when their names are added to the Roll of Honour at Liverpool Town Hall.

A total of 26 men who lost their lives in World War One will be added to the plaque in the Hall of Remembrance, with the inscription reading: “Their name liveth evermore”.

Special civic receptions for the families of those being added to the plaques will be hosted by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Anna Rothery.

Town Hall officials are still searching for the family of three of the servicemen so that they can attend:

  • Private James John Finnigan, a pupil at St Anne’s Refuge and Industrial School for Catholic Boys on St Anne’s Street, who later moved to Heckmondwike and worked at Leeds and Liversidge Colliery. He served with 12 Battalion King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and died in the Battle of the Somme on the first day – 1 July 1916, aged 25. He was nominated after his name was discovered by Spen Valley Historical Society, who found him remembered on the War Memorial of Our Lady and All Saints Church in West Yorkshire.
  • Private Thomas Winstanley, of The King’s Liverpool Regiment (13th Battalion) who died on 21 August 1918. He is the son of John and Elizabeth Winstanley of 5 Sand Street, Great Howard Street, Liverpool.
  • Private Edward Sanderson of The Loyal North Lancashire regiment (1st Battalion), who died on 29 March 1917

The families of the servicemen are being asked to email town.hall@liverpool.gov.uk if they would like to attend.

The full list of the personnel being added is:

  • Private RJ Ainscough – MANCHESTER REGIMENT (12TH BATT)

The Roll of Honour was unveiled by His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales, on 2 July 1921. The list of war dead began to be compiled during World War One  when names of the fallen were posted in a window overlooking Exchange Flags and relatives queued to add names.

The list of names was made available via the Town Hall’s website in 2008, and now the team receives requests for relatives’ names to go on the additions board, and there are now more than 13,500 included.
