    3. Hi everyone, Rosemary, Helen & other list members have encouraged all to place a note of remembrance for family lost during various wars, either on the Banburyshire web site or through Banbury list. All of the battles they would have fought, are without doubt recorded in some way for future generations in our historical archives. What about the people that fought in them? By submitting your own family names for remembrance, the men, women & families that gave that ultimate sacrifice in hope of a better life for us, helps build those archives into something more personal than just a lost name or number. Please take time to include your relatives name - *you* may know of your families pride or the heartbreak they suffered - others maybe won't unless *you* tell the story. A good book for Banburyshire interests covers the beginings of war, soldiers billeted in Banbury, Red cross, rationing, peace rejoicings, war shrines & memorials, Roll of honour, Oxon & Bucks LI. Kevin also travelled to Arras/Somme etc for his research. The book includes a fair few pictures of here & France. 'Banbury during the Great War' by Kevin Northover Propsero Publications ISBN 1 899246 50 9 price £9.95 Available from Ottaker/WHS bookshops or Banbury Museum & TI centre Angela :>)
