Mr Bill Webb has recently contacted me about his research on the names listed for WW1 on the War Memorial. This is an amazing piece of research and I am very greatful for him getting in contact to supply it. I have added the documents to the War Memorial Page as downloads as this information is bound to be useful for family history research purposes.
