The details were in the paper, but I can't see them online, so I don't think there should be a problem adding them here.

Anyone who wants to add the details of someone killed in action, needs to contact Andrew Hayhurst at HBC, on 01254 388111, or the Area Management Team on 01254 380121, or take in as many details as possible, name, rank, army number, dates etc., to the Willows Lane Depot.

On behalf of the people who have made this possible, thank you.

My mum is thrilled that her dad's name will now be recorded at a place that is very special to her family.
I just hope they make a better job of the 2nd WW memorial than they did of the 1st WW one, there are quite a few names still missing on that.

Some times details of men who died in WW2 are more difficult to find than WW1.

Retlaw.
