It remembers those from the Isle of Lewis who gave their life during World War II.<br />
The list, ordered by village, cannot be comprehensive, as many hundreds and even thousands of people emigrated overseas from the island, leaving at times no indication that there was a connection to the Hebrides.<br />
<br />
The list was compiled from the Rolls of Honour for <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
<br />
Stornoway,<br />
North Lochs,<br />
Kinloch<br />
Park,<br />
Ness to Bernera,<br />
North Tolsta </span>and<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
Gress to Upper Coll</span>.<br />
<br />
Please note that the villages of Aird Tong and Tong appear not to have their own Roll of Honour for World War II.<br />
<br />
Further information was obtained from the websites for Hebridean Connections and the Commonwealth War Graves commission. Information about shipping lost between 1939 and 1945 was taken from <a href="http://www.uboat.net/">uboat.net</a>.<br />
<br />
Portraits for men from the Parishes of Lochs and Uig are displayed with permission from the relevant Historical Societies; others were sourced from the Stornoway Gazettes of 1939 and 1940. <br />
