Rainham’s missing war dead
Some 18 months ago two friends Sean Connolly and ‘Boreenatra’ worked on a project, the Rainham Village war memorial. Their efforts have uncovered 76 missing names. Names that are registered with the CWGC but which do not appear on the memorial.
You can read the full story here.
Rainham is not the only one though, as a huge amount of work has been done to uncover other missing names from war memorials at Romford and Upminster.
And in Doddinghurst villagers are raising money for a war memorial to commemorate all those who have died in conflicts.
With 2014 just around the corner its time to Remember all those who perished.
