| Matlock & Matlock Bath : The War Memorials |
| Commemorating Matlock's and Matlock Bath's War Casualties |
To acknowledge the service to their country of
those who had given their lives and to help future generations
remember their sacrifice, two large war memorials were constructed
in Matlock and Matlock Bath at the end of the First War.
Memorials were also built at Scarthin and Starkholmes.
After the Second World War the names of the Casualties were added.
A smaller Memorial has
been placed on the Hall Leys in more recent times.
We will remember them

up and conscription elsewhere on this site.

are a few newspaper cuttings, containing small details on Matlock
Bath and its War effort, for the years 1914, 1915, 1917 and 1919 elsewhere
