Bankers at War website

There used to be a website called 'Bankers at War' that detailed all the men from the RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) group who served in WWII.

The following edited text (removing references to the Great War) is taken from the site:

Introduction

At the outbreak of the war, men from all occupations left their places of work and volunteered to serve their country. The world of Banking was no different. Throughout this country in many bank branches can be seen evidence of this in many varied war memorials and Rolls of Honour.

This website has been created in order to flesh out the stories behind many of these names. Who were these men? Where did they work? What did they do in the war? Hopefully some of these questions can be answered.

Background

This project came about through the individual research of two men. Adam Brown is an employee of the Royal Bank of Scotland, and David McNay works for the Bank of Scotland (part of HBOS and now part of the Lloyds Banking Group). It was through researching the Rolls of Honour for their places of employment that they met and decided to combine their work in a Roll combining as many banks as information could be found.

We welcome any information that you may have that will enable us to complete the picture of a specific individual.
