This book is dedicated to the late Brigadier James (Jim) Dennis. His committed work researching the war memorials of Lancaster, Morecambe, Carnforth and the surrounding villages, and the people behind the names on those memorials, did much to inspire the book and inform its content. His work was motivated by the desire to record as much detail as possible about the 2,700 people named on local war memorials ‘so that their lives can be remembered in a fuller and more significant way for all time’. We hope that this book on Lancaster’s experience of the First World War contributes to his aim.
