Welcome to The Leytonstone War Memorial Project
It is estimated that 22000 men from the borough fought in World War one.
There are various war memorials situated throughout the borough and this site has been set up to show each of the memorials and as far as possible research each of the men commemorated on them.

Go to the Book Of Honour from the link on the left. The information gathered about each of the men has been gathered from a variety of sources and public records Such as the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, archive material and plain old fashioned research. If one of the men listed on this memorial is a relative of yours, or you have additional information that you would like added onto their own Book Of Remembrance page, then please by all means contact me and I shall add it on.

Our database is growing all the time so check back often!
