It's OK I realised you didn't expect me to look for your fireman, but if he did die on duty, then I'm the one who could possibly help.
I'm looking for literally any UK Fireman, firewoman or in modern terms any firefighter whose death could be attributed in some way to being a firefighter..
There is a Memorial in London with 2,200 names on it, but to me the names are only a very small part of the story. My list has name, addresses, ages, brigade served, where and how died, along with marital status and number of children left behind. If not done soon these memorials will just be a list of unknown names. I hope to get a "roll of honor" published with some of the stories of the incidents in which they died included along with other info if applicable, and hope to pass any monies made to charities. It's amazing how much help I'm now getting. The main problem is the title fireman covers a wide range of other jobs other than firefighting. Everything from ships boiler firemen, firemen in mines who were responsible for firing the explosives, firemen in mills who looked after furnaces, boilers, and other fire processes.I have to be careful and check every one.
Thanks for the offer, help always appreciated, especialy if someone see articles in local newspapers on firemens funerals as often they had a fire brigade send off with firemen uniformed at the funeral.
