Those men from Keighley who lost their lives in the First World
War are commemorated in
1. A Roll of Honour now held in Keighley Public Library
and
2. A War Memorial Cenotaph in the Market Square of
Keighley.
However, there are no names on the War Memorial Cenotaph though there is a
dedication. This War Memorial also commemorates those who lost their lives
in the Second World War and subsequent conflicts.
The Roll of Honour is a bound Book of Remembrance with
inscription in caligraphy, in red and black ink. The book is held in a purpose-built
glass case. The book is dated 1924.
902 names are commemorated in this book.
