Hello Martyn,

very useful sources there, is there an online newspaper database you got them from by any chance? Or are they from hard copies of the papers.

There are a number of names I'd certainly like to look up in local papers from the UK.

regards

Dennis

These local newspapers are not online unfortunately. I have been doing some research on names on the local war memorials and obtained this information from the local library archive.

Martyn
