Not Just a Name Cast in Stone

This booklet provides the information you need to discover the history of each man listed on a WW1 War Memorial.

Methods of research are given, along with the use of war records, the census, Parish Magazines, local newspapers of the time, photographs, school records and memorabilia such as medals.

The same reference material can be used to build up a wider picture of the community from which the men came and the valuable work women and the churches did at this time while the men were away.

All this will enable you to build up a picture of the life of each man and his family, ensuring that he will no longer be just a name carved in stone.
