About this book

"The Roll of Honour, Volume 1: A Biographical Record of All Members of His Majesty’s Naval and Military Forces Who Have Fallen in the War" by the Marquis de Ruvigny is a historical reference work written in the early 20th century. This volume is an extensive biographical register dedicated to British and Commonwealth soldiers, sailors, and officers who lost their lives during a major conflict, almost certainly the First World War. The book collects and preserves individual stories and service details, providing not only names and ranks but also personal backgrounds and circumstances of death. Its primary aim is to offer permanent tribute and remembrance for the fallen, ensuring their sacrifices are not forgotten by future generations. The opening of this volume sets a solemn, respectful tone, with introductory remarks that reflect on the significance of the war and the lasting debt owed to those who died.
