This Event takes place next Saturday.

I will be there with the Liverpool Family History Group.

I will also have my Wounded Rank and File database which also includes Soldiers who were posted as missing and later reported as being Prisoner of War. This is something that I have been working on for 3 years. I have over 40,000 entries. I may not be able to Identify the correct John Jones but it is a useful source.

Also my news paper indexes which includes

Liverpool Echo 1914-1919
Liverpool Evening Express 1914-1921
Liverpool Catholic Herald 1914 to 1919
Liverpool Weekly Post
Liverpool Weekly Mercury
Obituary Notices for the Liverpool Evening Express for 1916
Liverpool Echo for the month of August 1916.

If there was a picture published of a soldier it will be in one of my indexes.

I have also indexed the Liverpool Evening Express 1939 to 1945.

Well done on your stirling research and indexing a real labour of love, hope it is a great day.
