The roll of honour was produced by students in the Department of Printing and Book Production. It lists 177 staff and students who served in the Armed Forces, including 20 who lost their lives.

Also booklet The Arch of Remembrance: The Memorial to the men of Leicester and Leicestershire who laid down their lives in the Great War, 1914-1919, providing background information about the war memorial in Victoria Park, Leicester, and the form and order of the unveiling ceremony. The booklet is illustrated with paintings of the Arch of Remembrance done by students of the Leicester School of Arts and Crafts.

It is worth noting that the City of Leicester School of Arts and Crafts was known as the Leicester Municipal Technical and Art School during the 1914-1918 conflict.
