We will be researching servicemen from Burntwood, who served and lost their lives during the First World War
Pam Woodburn our Vice Chairperson will be leading a team of volunteer Members. They will be examining the war memorials in Burntwood that we have already photographed and transcribed the names thereon, and they will be researching those individuals named
Each volunteer Member will research a serviceman who lost his life and learn as much detail about him as possible.
Which of the Armed Forces he served in, the theatre of war in which he fought in and where and how he lost his life.
We also hope to learn of his life before he became a serviceman, and who his family were.
The aim is to create a book of mini biographies to form a lasting record and a memorial to those who lost their lives
We have made appeals in local newspapers to anyone who has information on any serviceman from Burntwood
who died in the First World War.
You may even be a descendant of a serviceman who lost his life
If you have any information, photographs, documents or medals of a serviceman from Burntwood who died in the First World War,
Or if you are a Member who wishes to join Pam's team of researchers, please contact Pam
and your information will be passed on to Pam and her team of researchers
