Hello, my name is Stu.
Firstly, I am not sure this is in the right place, if not I am sorry and please move it to a more appropriate place.
I am the Chairman of Parish Council for Copplestone in Devon.
I know this is a family research forum but I felt you guys would be best placed to give me a pointer or two.
I am heading up a project to put a war memorial in a village that was once split between three parishes. Because of the split no war memorial was ever erected and I want to put that right. It has been a parish in its own right since 1992, So I have the job of finding the men who should be included. It could include men and women from any major conflict/war.
If anyone has ever been involved in such a project or can suggest how I go about moving this forward, I would love to hear from you.
Currently I have found Eight men from the Great War who lived in or was born in the area of the current Parish.
