Bo'ness & Carriden Roll of honour

[meggy1]

Hi All,

On tidying my Dad's attic, I came across this interesting book. If anyone would like me to look up any names, I'd be happy to do so. It covers the war years of 1939 - 1945 and lists surmames, initials, official numbers , which service, date of joining and addresses.

It also covers Blackness & District, as well as a list of the fallen.

Just thought it might be of interest to some of you out there!

Regards
Meggy1

Another resource for Bo'ness is The Scottish War Memorials Forum, see: http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?t=2822&mforum=warmemscot

The above link should go straight to the Bo'ness page, which is listed under Falkirk District.

For other West Lothian Civic and 'other' memorials, see: http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?t=522&mforum=warmemscot.
