Ipswich War Memorial Website
« on: Sunday 23 September 18 19:13 BST (UK) »
During my fh research, I've recently discovered that my late husband's uncle, James  A P Smith, who was a Royal Marines Musician and who died in the Battle for Crete when HMS Fiji was sunk, had been missed from the Ipswich war memorial.  I contacted the lovely people who run the Ipswich War Memorial website, and they were delighted to have his details and will be making a page in his memory on the site.

So if anyone has family from Ipswich who died in action in WW1 and WW2 and whose names are not on the memorial or who have no page on the website,  you might like to look at www.ipswichwarmemorial.co.uk  and using their contact page, send details of the omission.  I am so pleased that I did;   I was surprised at how quickly I received a reply, and how friendly and caring the response was.
