Welcome to our Virtual Memorial website. The Dover War Memorial Project is run entirely by volunteers. The Project began on Remembrance Sunday, 2005, to honour all those we lost from our front-line town, Dover: the Gateway to England. Much information on the casualties of war  is freely available in public records or the internet - this site is different. It introduces the people we so sadly lost, as remembered by those who knew them. This site is a memorial, made with love, to those who gave their lives and to the relatives they left behind. 

It is a privilege to work on the Project, to meet so many kind and courageous people, and to learn so much of the dedication and sacrifice of those who died. Dover can never replace them, and the world is much the poorer for it. Here, at least, we can ensure that their memory remains forever green. Welcome, then, as you meet some of those who never came home. As you browse the site, please remember in your thoughts and prayers those who gave and those who continue to give so much.

"The noble example of self-sacrifice, the monument commemorates may help us to realize that the virtue of our lives will be according to how freely we are willing to give them for our fellow man without thought of reward except that which we shall know in the giving." The War Memorial Committee, Dover, 1924
