About Scotland, World War I Rolls of Honour, 1914-1918
This collection contains records of the original Scottish First World War rolls of honour that list war casualties and military personnel who died during active service between 1914 and 1918. One section of the collection focuses on rolls of honour related to schools, universities, clans, businesses, and churches. A second section has rolls of honour connected to places throughout Scotland. The rolls were often organised alphabetically by surname, but casualties were also grouped by regiment, branch of service, or military honours earned.
