crazykimbo   10 #194 Posted January 29, 2015 Wow, you have a lot of work ahead of you- I will certainly keep my eyes peeled for any plaques etc.Those brave men should be remembered. Am currently trying to find out more about my great grandad who served in, WW1, he lived in Sheffield but was born in India- so not sure he would fit your criteria. Good Luck.
