Tributes for the War Memorial

This site contains transcripts of tributes to men from Lewis and Harris who lost their life in the First World War, first published by the Stornoway Gazette in 1917 and 1918. The Gazette's first issue came out on 5 January 1917. Further personal and military details for each casualty can be found on the Faces from the Lewis War Memorial website and Harris War Memorial.

The Lewis tributes are arranged by island district. The six Harris tributes are grouped on this page.
