Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) has committed itself to creating a record of Quakers who died in the first world war, after rousing ministry at Meeting for Sufferings on 2 February. The record of the, at least, 265 Friends who died in the war will be kept at Friends House, London. It will include many who served within the military establishment.
