We are using the Imperial War Museum/Lives of First World War Soldiers website to include the names of as many men on the Morley War Memorial as time allows. Recently we have been adding the names of men on that memorial who are also commemorated at Tyne Cot. By finding out about Albert Waring’s life from his birth to his marriage we have eventually come across your site which gives a full biography and photograph of him. We have not found anything about Albert’s service in the local press but I suppose this is down to him moving to Barnoldswick.
I do hope you do not mind – if you do, please say so – but I have included a link to this page on our IWM page. I am very impressed with your work.
