Born and bred in Cheshire, my humble efforts are an attempt to remember and commemorate all fallen members of the British Army’s Cheshire Regiment. I’ve started with the ‘easy’ stuff with WW1 & WW2 from www.cwgc.org (the Commonwealth War Graves Commission web site). I will keep on researching to increase the range of available data to cover all older conflicts and deployments, and bring the information up to date.
Lest we forget…
