Description
Five blue cloth bound volumes with gilded titling, four of which carry the names of those killed in WW1, with the fifth carrying the names of those killed between 1920 and 1945. Within the volumes each Battalion's Roll is in a separate section, with its number printed on a title page headed by a depiction of the regimental badge in red before the pages printed with the names, which appear listed by rank. The books are on open display for public use, and correspond to the Manchester Regiment's volumes in the nearby WW1 and WW2 shrines.
