Clowne & District
Roll of Honour

Remembering those who served, sacrificed and shaped our community

Clowne contributed to the national war effort in both World Wars: many local men enlisted, losses are recorded on the village war memorial, and during WWII Clowne hosted evacuees from Blitz-targeted cities. Coal mining was central to the area’s identity and was an important part of wartime production and support.
