Great War Roll of Service

After the end of the First World War the States of Jersey created a list of all those islanders who lost their lives during the conflict, and in 1919 they published an official Roll of Honour. This document also included a Roll of Service, containing the names and units of those known at the time to have been in the armed services during the war. This page contains links to that Roll of Service.

An extended online list has been produced in recent years, containing significantly more names than the original, because the qualifications for inclusion have been extended. The digital Roll of Service includes many whose connections with the island are somewhat tenuous - those who were educated, often for short periods, at Victoria College; those who married Jersey women but never lived in, or even visited, the island; Frenchmen who were working in Jersey when the war started; and many whose connections with the island have yet to be established. We make no comment on the rights and wrongs of widening the qualifications for inclusion in the new, unofficial Roll of Service. We merely wish to make clear that this page contains what was, and remains, the only official Roll of Service
