Is there anything special about the Roll of Honour?
Very much so. It was originally published in five volumes. It is a compilation of over 26,000 biographies of casualties of the Great War of 1914-1918. Each page of the original book was published in two columns of small yet clear test. The biographies vary in length from a couple of lines of basic information to well over 1000 words of text detailing the pre-war life and exact circumstances of death.
