NOT FORGOTTEN

The four Manchesters were put forward by GWF on behalf of Bernard (manchester regiment) in early April following a thread on the Forum concerning the suspicious circumstance of four 7/Manchester men being missing from the lists – all with surnames beginning with ‘G’.

Pte Guyll was also put forward by GWF in April on behalf of Forum member stevem.

Major Holtham was put forward by GWF on behalf of Jon Saunders (of shorts fame), again, after a thread on the Forum.

Six successes for GWF and its members today.
