The first thing I thought of when this project was announced was how many people would fall into this hole of being born elsewhere but having most of their life associated with a town which is then told no.
Looking at the local VCs to here there are two that I can find associated with Stockport though only 1 looks like he was actually born in the town. It gets even worse if you look at Tameside, there five WW1 VCs but only 1 was born in the area, none were overseas but they were all from other areas. Ironically one of them was from Cheadle Hulme in Stockport but moved to Droylsden with his family. So where should they be commemorated?
