Re: Cradley's Hero's from the WW1 Memorial
Well Linnell, I think you are probably right!
Just looked at the first one and it certainly looks like the Lawson Attwood we have on Connections.
Found this on Ancestry, but it doesn't give his date of birth here!

Re: Cradley's Hero's from the WW1 Memorial
Hi San, I am sure you are right, an unusual name, must be him. There are a lot of names I recognised on there, there are a couple of Alfred Willetts, we have a lot of them, luckily a lot of their parents names are also mentioned, so we may be able to link some of them up. Wasn't it all terrible though when you stop to think about it 
Best Wishes from Linell.
