The following Roll of Honour has been created by the Darwen Heritage Centre to Commemorate those brave souls who were born, lived or worked in Darwen and paid the ultimate sacrifice in the defence of their country during the Second World War. Whilst every care has been taken to try and record the details of all those who come within the designated criteria it is possible that there are others yet to be found.
