The Roll of Honour is back on display in St Helier, paying tribute to the Jersey soldiers that lost their lives in war.

The tribute was unveiled today in the window of the Santander Work Café. 

It consists of a list of names of those that lost their lives serving in the Great War, the Second World War and the Boer War. 

It also recognises the Jersey men and women who died in Nazi concentration camps and prisons during the Occupation.

 Names in the Roll of Honour

The Roll of Honour was compiled in 2013 by historian Barrie Bertram. 

His colleague and fellow historian Ian Roynayne spoke at today's unveiling:

"The island is rightfully full of war memorials, commemorating those that fell in the First and Second World Wars.

"But my friend Barrie suspected that the names so carefully inscribed in stone or written on wood were only part of the story.

"He set about exploring and examining the records. With the help of others, he uncovered not only the names of far more islanders that deserve our memory and respect, but also he added colour to their lives and deaths.

"We now have this remarkable, comprehensive Roll of Honour that we see here today. We also can say a little bit more about the names it contains.

"For example, in the First World War, we now know about Seaman Harry Wright - whose name is on the roll. His parents were Edward and Fanny and he'd been living with his wife Mable in Columbus Street.

"He died in November 1914 when his ship HMS Goodhope was sunk in battle off the coast of Chile."

Chelsea Pensioners joining the unveiling of the Roll of Honour

Viewing the Roll of Honour is just one of the ways islanders can pay their respects to fallen soldiers in Jersey.

Events are taking place throughout the week in the lead up to Remembrance Sunday.

These include a wreath laying at La Rue de Diélament and Petit Port on the morning of 8 November, which will be followed by a chapel remembrance concert.

On 9 November, they'll be a Remembrance Ride through St Lawrence from motorists paying tribute to those that lost their lives. 

Moulin de Lecq will then be home to a fireworks and bonfire display in aid of the Royal British Legion that evening.

Remembrance Sunday will consist of a service and parade at the Cenotaph in St Helier followed by a luncheon for the Chelsea Pensioners at Government House.
