  1. Hi having researched all our Cowling men over a few years prior to 2014 the centenary of the beginning of WW1 -yes as you will know - a very complicated business - I have all their service nos. except one of the F. or Fred Smiths, the one I have is 29718 - pls. let me know if you come up with another? Thanks, Joan Tindale (lifelong resident until the last few weeks, now in Sutton)
  2. Hi, I am just wondering what info you may have on my great grandfather Marshall Joseph Roe, I.e. record of service (or where I could find that), as well as his brother Albert Roe, who I know died in late 1918. I'm going through every part of your website and wondered if there anything further on Albert especially. Kind regards, James Roe

      Hi James, Albert Roe is a candidate for the Borough of Keighley roll of honour in this centenary year and his page has just been added to our website here: https://www.menofworth.org.uk/supplementary-volume/private-albert-roe/
