Overview Ruthin Deaths 1914-20

Roll of Honour RUTHIN DEATHS – 1914 – 1920

The list is as comprehensive as possible, although there may well be omissions. The criteria used are all those men who were killed in action, died of wounds and died of illness or accidents directly attributable to the war. The criteria include those men born and bred in Ruthin and who lived here for most of their lives. It includes individuals who moved to other places immediately before the outbreak of war but considered themselves Ruthinians first and foremost. The roll is in chronological order of death, and 18 are not listed on the Ruthin War Memorial. Men from nearby villages are not included.
