MEMORIAL TO THE MEN WHO DIED IN WW2

 

Help Needed

If any of your family are on the Roll of Honour, or who are on the gate plaques, please let us have a few words about them so that they are "more than a name". It is hoped to produce a brief biography of these Crich men who served, and in some cases died, for their Country.
