  • HI folks the server that hosts the site completely died including the Hdd's and backups.
    Luckily i create an offsite backup once a week! this has now been restored so we have lost a few days posts.
    im still fixing things at the moment so bear with me and im still working on all images 90% are fine the others im working on now
    we are now using a backup solution

Thank you so much for all your hard work. Two of us are working on all the men who served and also those killed from around the Solihull Area. We thought we had found most of our men, but you have found some we do not have. In the future all our research (3 years so far) will be entered on a local site at the library, so anyone doing family history etc. can find out about there grandfather etc. So thank you once again.
Richard and Jill.
