    3. Good evening List, although this is meant primarily for Dorothy, it may be of interest to some other Listers. A few years ago Jack Hill from Sedbergh ( Billy Tebay's nephew) began to research the men on the Sedbergh War Memorial and he gave me all his notes. >From these I added to them some military details but mainly family histories of each man plus their photos and eventually made them into a "book" using plastic pockets and Lever Arch files. 4 were made. One is lodged with the Sedbergh and District History Society, 1 with Sedbergh School, another copy was given to Jack Hill ( now deceased) and I have a 4th copy. This was just WW1. Jack also covered WW2 but felt it too recent to be "published" just yet. Every year since then we have held an exhibition in one or more shop windows in Sedbergh during Armistice week This year the War Memorial at Sedbergh was restored and some missing names added. It was re-dedicated today. A group of us from the History Society are embarking on producing a series of 3 booklets on the War Memorials starting with Sedbergh, then Dent and finally Garsdale, Cautley and Howgill. These will eventually go on sale and the profits given to the British Legion. I am aware that Sedbergh was in Yorkshire but I know there are several Listers with ancestors from thereabouts. Constantly remembering them Shirley ( from Dent) ----- Original Message ----- From: "DOROTHY WILLIAMS" <dotw@talktalk.net> To: <eng-westmorland@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2008 9:30 PM Subject: [ENG-WESTMORLAND] Lest we forget >
