In memory of the men of this town who gave their lives in the Second World War 1939-1945.
Irthlingborough Historical Society researched the stories of the men from Irthlingborough who lost their lives in World War One and recorded them in a bespoke, leather-bound book, “In Memoriam”, which is now on permanent display in St Peter’s Church with a copy available in Irthlingborough Library for personal research.
In this volume “Irthlingborough’s War 1939 – 1945” we honour the memory of those who died in World War Two, whilst at the same time offering a record of life in the town and the spirit shown by the people of Irthlingborough during those dark days when the freedom of the nation was at stake.
