Welcome to the Herne Hill memorial website. This volunteer-led project aims to tell the story of all those from Herne Hill, South London, who served and died in the First World War. The database, which contains over 550 records, was compiled and edited by the Herne Hill Society with help from the students of the Charter School, North Dulwich, and other local people.
This project is Heritage Lottery funded, thanks to money raised by National Lottery players.
Founded in 1982, we are an “amenity society” - a charity of unpaid volunteers working to improve our part of London for the benefit of residents, visitors and local businesses. Amongst other things we research and publish local history.
The Charter School, North Dulwich is a joint partner in this project. Founded in 2000, it is one of the top 100 non-selective state-funded schools in England.
The Heritage Fund distributes a share of National Lottery funding, supporting projects across the UK. Since its foundation in 1994 it has awarded nearly £10 billion to over 50,000 projects across the UK.
