Not a word spoken, proving pictures are sometimes worth a 1000 words

Thank a million for posting that Tony. Very humbling especially the shot of the group after a 3 week stint.

What a task you have set for yourself and all credit to you.
How many years do we all live in our towns and villages passing the war memorial and take it for granted. Then someone says (like you) the names on these memorials should be brought back into our lives as the people they were .You are researching their upbringing prior to the conflict which after 100 years is a job and a half. Then you have to go into the military records, not easy.
I mention this, rather clumsily so that other readers can appreciate your efforts.

I wanted to do the same with a WW1 memorial locally as out of the 53 names listed there were 5 named Chaplain. I realised was this a father and 4 sons or was it 5 sons, anyway the thought of their loss for one family was pretty emotional.

If I can assist you in any way please contact me.

Can your local police check nearby scrap metal merchants and warn them of this lowly theft.
If its found (or replaced) you may like to visit war memorials trust where they advise on things you can do to protect memorials. or PM me if I can help in any way
