Roll Of Honour
This Roll Of Honour is to remember those with the name of FILBY or its variants who gave their lives for us during war time conflicts, lest we forget them.
The text below is engraved on a tablet unveiled in Westminster Abbey in 1926 by The Prince of Wales. The text on the third line was altered after the second world war, and now reads:
TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND TO THE MEMORY OF ONE MILLION DEAD OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE WHO FELL IN THE WARS OF 1914 AND 1939
THEY DIED IN EVERY QUARTER OF THE EARTH AND ON ALL ITS SEAS AND THEIR GRAVES ARE MADE SURE TO THEM BY THEIR KIN
THE MAIN HOST LIE BURIED IN ALL THE LANDS OF OUR ALLIES OF THE WAR WHO HAVE SET ASIDE THEIR RESTING PLACES IN HONOUR FOR EVER
