Silver Street School Roll of Honour
The Great War Records were damaged during World War Two so incomplete. With just the bare minimum of information I have tried to identify these soldiers. My main source of reference was all categories of Ancestry.co.uk; others I have listed below each soldier. There is some where I have been unable to identify one man, so put the information of both of them. Others there are too many of similar names to choose from. Where I am uncertain I have put question mark.
The information may help in tracing your family during a time of great conflict. I hope the information is correct and if you are reading it and have any information which will help I would like to hear from you. I would like to thank the staff of Warrington Library and Museum for their patience and help with my research.

Every week the classes took turns to place flowers in vases on the Memorial. Four oak brackets held the vases two given by Mrs Harrison in memory of her son and two from the boys in Mr S.C. Jones class.
The school also purchased prints of paintings as a tribute to the Fallen, these were:-
River Running Into Derwent Water (Leader) Valley of Llugwy (Leader)
A Mountain Stream When Did You Last See Your Father?
