Hi All,
I've just seen on the news that 2 women have been granted funds from the lottery to research the names of 100 soldiers on 4 war memorials in Kingswinford and Wall Heath.
I was just wondering if any of those named may be on BCC or connected to any one on here? I wonder if the ladies concerned know of our brilliant forum and amazing tree!?

Now what they need to do is come on here and we can have a look for them too!
