Hello Paul

The end of ABW and the creation of the many memorials coincided with the postcard boom which was always interested in topical subjects - like new war memorials.

My friend in York has been unwell and not able to check if the wooden model of the Yorkshire Memorial is still in Treasurer's House.

Yes, I recently introduced to The Register a Research Centre , one of the free queries is to list names by memorial.
