There is a pinned post at the top of this board. It says:

In memory of the fallen in WW1. Post the names of your ancestors that fell in the Great War, a background to their story, perhaps a photograph of them or their family, or what this means to you.

Anyone searching on those soldiers will find the post and get the added personal story from a real relative who cares which in a small way adds something for posterity and to their memory.


Please post in the 'Subject' the date they fell, followed by name, age and regiment. DATE, FIRST NAME SURNAME,AGE, REGIMENT

Include Rank and Service Number in the main post where known
