War Memorials
Welcome to the War Memorials of King's College London, Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals. This website celebrates the lives of the more than 700 students and staff from King's College and its partner institutions who were killed in twentieth century conflict - whether on distant foreign battlefields or on the home front.
Detailed biographies reveal a wealth of personal information and tales of gallantry and distinction. They serve as a permanent reminder of the selfless service to society enshrined in King's College's public ethos and of the personal sacrifices of its students and staff.
This website is the result of a year of research by a dedicated team from the University of the Third Age, led by Mrs Wendy Mott, drawing on original source material held by King's College London Archives including photographs and press cuttings, and on externally held records such as those of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
