I was in Belgium last week and picked up a leaflet at Talbot House on this new project. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else on the Forum so I thought I would highlight it.
There is a view to setting up a visitors centre at Lijssenthoek and they are trying to collect the personal stories of the men who are buried there especially if you also have any of their personal possessions/documents.
Forum members must have researched a fair few of these men so can probably add a great deal.
More information can be found at the Lijssenthoek site.
I believe the lady collating the information is Annimee (I have probably spelt this incorrectly!) and she is based at Talbot House if you are visiting there.
