advise please,,,tracing my villagers

[Guy Etchells]

The problem is that the War Memorials will only show those who died?

OP wants a list of those who survived!

What makes you assume that war memorials only show those who died?

For example the following shows not only those who died but those who served as well

This South African War, 1899-1902, war memorial shows those who served

Many war memorials show lists of men who served in the war(s) that they commemorate.
I found that out when I transcribed many hundreds of war memorials for the National Inventory of War Memorials in and around 2003/4

PS try

Just use the keywords "who served"  without the inverted commas and nothing else

Interesting thread and thanks for that info Guy - our Welsh village wants to research those on our war memorial,  those who returned from WW1 as well as those buried in military graves here.  (There was a hospital in the village where many servicemen were treated.)  I've bookmarked this thread so I can come back again as the research goes ahead.

Kind regards
GS
