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.
