Rolls of honour were created by schools, universities, parishes, and places of employment to honour those who participated or gave the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War. Each honour roll has its own format and criteria for what names and how much information was included. For example, the Peeblesshire Roll of Honour added the ‘names of men who have been discharged from the Army, owing to the serious nature of their wound or because they had become physically unfit for further service.’ While the St Andrew’s University roll of honour added additional details about the individual including their birth date, where they served, if they were injured or killed in action, where they died, and more details about their service.
