Adjustments to files are being undertaken all the time. When new photos come in which are better than the ones we have, the old ones are being replaced. Thanks to new technology, photos can now being enlarged and enhanced where needed to show more detail. Descriptions are also being altered.
Some files are being moved. Newcastle upon Tyne is a case in point. Many memorials originally listed here are, in fact, located in suburbs which have their own identity, such as Elswick or Jesmond, so these are being transferred to where they should be. We suggest that you use the Index for guidance.
We are also working on the lists of names. In the original programme, these appeared higgledy-piggledy, very unsightly and difficult to read. We are going through these as fast as we can to ensure that they appear in straight columns.
This is a long and laborious process which is being worked on continuously. Information is being received all the time, either adding to what we already know, or as full submissions about new memorials or the replacing, relocation or repair of old ones. We crave your patience! We are trying very hard to provide an excellent source of information, especially useful to those people living abroad who cannot come to search for themselves in the North East of England.
Anybody is welcome to submit information about the memorials themselves. Some people are now sending in biographical details of their own forebears from the North-East of England who fought for their country. We are delighted to receive these, and add them under the sender's name to the record free of charge.
