yes please Eddie
I should be getting a website up before end of the year, site pages being written now.
It will be nice to remember all the firefighters.  :)
Currently researching the details including Names, Addresses, Date died, Age died, How died, Brigade served and many other details of firefighters that have died as a result of being a firefighter.

Hi milkybob,
I hope i am doing this right.
I am trying to get info on my Great uncle Albert Hall, who i believe died in the late 1940's or 1950's during active service.
He was born in 1902 in Perkinsville or Pelton County Durham and he possibly married in 1929 to Elizabeth ?
I do have pictures of his funeral and in one photo the firefighters are walking in front of the funeral cars. My family in the North East say his death was in the local papers, but i don't know where to start looking.
Hope you can help.
Regards Denise.

Hi Denise
I'm sorry to say I know nothing of your Uncle Albert Hall, With a name like that he would have had his leg pulled more than once, so you calling me milkybob is nothing LOL.
I would be interested to know anything else you find on him and the details of his death if possible.
My website remembering all the firefighters in the UK that have died as a result of being a firefighter will be online by the end of this year, and it would be a shame not to have him on the list if his death was due to being a firefighteter. I the meanwhile I will see if I can find anything.
Thanks.

If you go to http://www.firefightersmemorial.co.uk/MemorialNames.pdf  that is a simple list of all the firemen / firewomen on the firefighters memorial in London, and I have many more than on that list, but he is not shown on either.
