HomeWe Remember Them 1918 - 2018

In the University Chapel, there is a plaque which lists the 77 former staff and students who lost their lives during World War One. As 2018 marks the centenary of the end of the War, members of the University of Chester Alumni Association (UCAA) felt that the 77 fallen's sacrifice should be commemorated in some way. This has led to extensive research being carried out on the 77 men’s early lives, military careers and families.

The 77 Fallen

Our alumni volunteers have spent hundreds of hours researching the 77 fallen’s early lives, military careers and families. You can find their research archived here.

Our Alumni Volunteers

Our alumni volunteers have carried out extensive research on some of the 77 fallen, to help create detailed biographies for the men.

The Soldiers’ Families

As a result of our alumni volunteers' research, some of the 77 fallen's families have been traced and contacted.

77 Poppies

As part of our World War One Centenary Commemorations, an individual textile poppy has been created to represent each of our 77 fallen alumni.

Planting Memorial Trees

As part of our World War One Centenary Commemorations, we have planted a variety of memorial trees across our campuses.
