WAR MEMORIALS IN ROTHLEY
We will remember them
Memorials to those who served and died in both World Wars come in many forms and range from monuments to small plaques, parks and gardens to church organs.
In Rothley they are being researched as part of the War Memorials Project for Leicestershire and Rutland and to update the United Kingdom National Inventory of War Memorials (UKNIWM).
The dates for the First World War on memorials can be 1914-1918 or 1914-1919 and this is true in Rothley. Although fighting ceased in November 1918 some peace treaties were not signed until 1919 and "Peace Day" in Britain was officially the 19th July 1919, the day of the Victory Parade.
