I hope they do review the list now. I know the council officers read this forum all the time and I hope it does make them look again.

If council officers do visit the forum, why do we not hear some comment from them.

As for the spelling of DruNNond, it is on the original 1922 Roll of Honour as DruMMond, if they had use their spill chucker (sic) before publishing that list, all would have been revealed.

What gets me is with the list on hbc's website is that only those who lived in Oswaldtwistle before the war, will be considered, if that is the criteria, then quite a few on the 1922 list should be removed.

I also have the names of those who qualify by being born or had lived in Oswaldtwistle, relatives still living in the town, but they served with the Canadians or Australians.

I have all the service records of those men, who enlisted abroad, plus some 450 service records of local men who served in the different regiments of the British Army, they show where they were born, age, occupation, next of kin, date of marriage, names of children when they were born etc. Those are known facts and can never be disputed, they are official historical documents.

Just started doing C's.

Obvious things like Immanuel might be spotted but others wouldn't be.
