About the memorial: Ribbon-bound Book of Remembrance kept in the Lord Mayor's office, with typed pages and the red seal of Bristol Corporation on its cover. The first section of the Book lists the Corporation's employees who served in World War 1, grouped by the Department in which they worked, including: Bristol Constabulary, Bristol Docks Committee, Education, Treasurer's, Electricity, Accountant's, Valuer's, Town Clerk's, City Engineer's, Asylum, Overseer's and Rates, Weights and Measures, Health, City Estates, Museum and Art Gallery. The second section of the Book lists of all who received decorations. The third section of the Book lists all who died. In 1920 the ceremonial copy of the Book was presented to the Lord Mayor of Bristol. A copy was also given to each employee who had served and the next of kin of all who had died, and to each of the relevant Corporation Departments. Five of those copies are now held at Bristol Archives, having since been deposited with them by the relevant families/ Departments/ organisations. (In addition to being listed in this Book of Remembrance of Corporation employees, Bristol Constabulary officers who served were commemorated on an illuminated WW1 Roll of Honour. The Port of Bristol Docks Committee's employees were likewise also named on an additional memorial erected by that Department. N.B. The Book of Remembrance does contain some incorrect dates of death, either due to a lack of accurate data being available when it was compiled or to typos.
