At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. Words we say every Remembrance Sunday, but who are we remembering? We have names on our war memorial, but with the passage of time we are in danger of forgetting the people.

Their families, who they were, so much is receding into history. As time goes by memories become more distant and it becomes increasingly difficult to remember the people behind the names. The historians in our congregation have accepted a challenge to research the people named on the memorial, and to produce a booklet about them.

On the pages of this site we present what has been discovered so far. We agree it is not very much, and ask anyone who can help us discover more, or who can provide a photograph of any of the people to contact us.
