Good morning Having worked on Rolls of Honour for major employers of local men as part of my WW1 tribute I have all the John Smedley (Lea Mills) men; a list of the men on the Johnson & Nephew (Ambergate Wireworks) men; but was missing Butterley Company men/ Luckily a colleague working with me tracked down a Roll of Honour ledger tucked away at the DRO. I have now transcribed this record and added it www.crichparish-ww1.co.uk <http://www.crichparish-ww1.co.uk/> There are two transcriptions on the site. One of all the Crich men (obviously) and the other of all the recorded men in case of interest to other researchers. The record is fairly detailed; name, age, marital status, address, occupation in the Company, date when enlisted, if they returned. Sometimes their regiment and other remarks such as wounded and awarded the Silver War Badge. The addresses are as you might expect: Ripley, Alfreton, Ironville, Codnor, Crich, Heage area with some more far flung places such as Nottingham and Sheffield. So, if your family history member worked at Butterley Co at this time it would be worth a look. I have added an alphabetical Index of the names with reference to the ledger page to make a quick search easier. Peter

Thanks for all the work you have done on this...
