WW2 Plaque Names

The grant application to add a plaque to the St Peters Heroes War Memorial with a list of men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice in World War II has been successful.

Plans are underway to unveil the names on Remembrance Day 2024.

The Association is wanting to hear from anyone who knows of other men or women from the former St Peters Council area who died in WW2. The St Peters Council included the suburbs of Hackney, College Park, St Peters, Stepney, Maylands, and Evandale.

SPRA is also seeking any relatives of those named so that they can be invited to the Remembrance Day dedication ceremony.

So far, about 90 men who fit the criteria have been identified, and their details are in this table.
Please advise us if you can provide additional details or photos.

The Family Name links to the Virtual War Memorial, where additional details may be found.
