Researching history of Matlock war dead
I am now researching the men whose names are to be found on both the Matlock and MAtlock Bath was memorials, having died on service during the WWII. The aim as usual, is to honour their names.
I would appreciate help from any relatives or friends of those men, who might be able to aid its research by providing additional information and especially a copy of a photograph to go with the text (either in uniform, civvies, or even a school photograph).
