The first LSE War Memorial was unveiled on 23 January 1923 by Field Marshal Sir William Robertson, formerly Chief of Imperial General Staff, containing the names of 70 staff and students thought to have died in the First World War. One hundred years on from Armistice, in November 1918, new digital library techniques, powerful search engines and the wealth of content on the Internet make it much easier to gather, process and cross-check information than in the 1920s.

The online World War One memorial provides an updates record of the service of LSE staff and students during the First World War. Not Set In Stone – amending LSE’s First World War Memorial provides further information on the work of updating the First World War Memorial.
