  • To commemorate the Armistice of the First World War , a random selection of men from the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, is presented on this site. 
  • One face, if a portrait is available, will represent each of the island's 100 villages. 
To give an impression of the sacrifice, made by the men of Lewis, consider these numbers.
  • Every second man from Lewis joined up to fight in the Great War.
  • Every sixth man who joined up, did not return.
  • Two hundred drowned in the sinking of the Iolaire just outside Stornoway harbour on New Year's Day 1919.

Gravestone to an unknown victim of the Iolaire disaster (Sandwick Cemetery).
