Thought I should join in here. The war memorials have been fairly well covered as had been said but there are thousands out there. I have around 650+ memorials to put on-line at present with 700 edits to do. Hertfordshire is gradually building and so is Buckinghamshire, anybody wishing to volunteer to help then please contact me. As well as the memorials I am always looking for databases to put on-line for instance Kempston Men Who Served in World War 1 is there, I am working on the Beds and Herts WW2 database, the Bedfordshire Regiment 1st, 1st Garrison and 1st/5th databases are also there plus a database covering the Boer War which with 16,000 records is only in its infancy. I am always looking for photographs, there are quite a few there now but not nearly enough. Luton was transcribed but does not look as if it will be available so that one needs redoing. I have spent a few thousand pounds on research material so any contributions to the site can be researched fairly well. I am trying to find the time to visit Bedford Library to run through the newspapers from 1919 to 1925 for dedication information so if anybody has any of this it would be welcome.

The whole of the Buckinghamshire War Memorials (visible to naked eye) have been surveyed, transcribed and published some years ago, thanks to the sterling work of the Quick family. They are available from Bucks GS (see website www.bucksgs.org.uk) More recently, I have collected lists of Aylesbury men serving in 1916 and the former pupils of High Wycombe Grammar School serving in 1916 (every regiment etc detailed). Some local residents are beginning to do the in-depth studies on the persons named, with their family background and career details. Stone has been completed, I think, and Nick Burch is working on Haddenham now. -- Eve McLaughlin Author of the McLaughlin Guides for family historians Secretary Bucks Genealogical Society
