Trying to establish the names of the 81 World War One survivors listed on the Blackmore War Memorial has been challenging but the Blackmore War Memorial Research Project Group has reduced the number for which there is no data down to just six men. But ahead of the obilisk being re-engraved we need your help. Does anyone have suggestions? Please e mail or use comments field below.
We have checked against the 1901 census the 6 survivors for whom we have no data.
