Hi Mack

A few are rellies but not many.  Four years ago :o I started to put all my info from the local war memorial etc. on the web http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gypsy/roh.htm so it might help others but I never got round to finishing it ::)

Yesterday, I decided that I had better do something about finishing it hence a couple of enquiries BUT it's far too mammoth a task to ask anybody to help in any great way!  And I've lots more names to add (particulary R-Z WW1) when I dig out my old paper notes ;)
