1 The Cleator Moor Roll of Honour In Grateful Remembrance To those from Cleator, Cleator Moor & district who gave their lives in the service of their country They went forth and returned not. Lest we forget 1

2 In the pages of this Book of Remembrance we remember those men and women of Cleator, Cleator Moor and district who gave their lives in the service of their country, protecting Freedom and Justice. We remain proud of these sons and daughters of our land who willingly made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of others. Once, the men and women whose names are listed in these pages walked the same streets and knew the same places as those of us who came after them. The least we can do is to cherish the memory and sacrifice of these brave souls of the community of Cleator, Cleator Moor and district and know why we remain free men and women. We will remember them! 2
