Our Tribute To Wiltshires’ Heroic & Famous Sons and Daughters 

Here we remember those men and women with Wiltshire connections who paid the ultimate sacrifice whilst in the service of their country during both war and peace. This includes civilians who died due to war time action as well as those who died as prisoners of war, and through accident or disease. We also recognise the sacrifices made by the Emergency Services of Wiltshire.

We also remember the events when visitors and Wiltshire folk lost their lives in major disasters within the county, together with traumatic events outside of the county, where those with Wiltshire connections lost their lives.

We also celebrate the lives of individuals connected to the County, who had global, national or county-wide fame for achievement in the arts, sporting, literary, sciences, political. religious and medical fields.  

This list below displays these sacrifices and notable events which occurred on this day in history over a period of 7 days, this is the current date and three days either side.
