Italian brothers Vittorio , Gerardo , Petro and Eugenio Crolla came to Britain, in the 1880's to set up an ice cream business .They settled in Ancoats Manchester where they became one of the first founders of the Little Italy district..

The brothers came from Pisinisco , a hillside village in central Italy.

They were also Musicians and Biscuit makers.

The Crolla's also had connections with the Ice Cream Business.

The National Roll of honour was put together with permission from the relatives of the deceased, if they didn't agree, then your ancestor will not be on the Roll.

Also if I'm not mistaken it doesn't give the year, just that they would have died either ww1 or ww2.

Hope this helps
