John McCann Posted 30 September , 2021 Share Posted 30 September , 2021 Hi all, I have been in charge of the Coatbridge and the Great War website for nearly 3 years. I'm currently updating the men's pages and I have 100 of 864 still to update. I'm looking for help regarding 22 men listed. Some are possible duplicates and others I have as not remembered by the CWGC. This site is listed in acknowledgements as I've had a lot of help here over the many years I've been looking to complete the Memorial. Sadly had to wait a long time to get website sorted but any help with what I'm looking for would e appreciated and thanked for on the man's page. I have around 780 grave photos and names on memorials and plan on doing my best to have all men listed. Thanks in advance.

Derek Black Posted 30 September , 2021 Share Posted 30 September , 2021 John, What an excellent website with which to host your research. If only every City, town and village had such a well researched resource. Have you a link to the 22 you mention, or are they only spread among the directory? Cheers, Derek.

Derek Black Posted 30 September , 2021 Share Posted 30 September , 2021 (edited) Thanks John, I'll have a look over them. [edit] have your men missing off CWGC been forwarded to them for inclusion?

My plan at the moment is to have all 864 men's pages updated by Remembrance Day (also around 3 years of the website). I'm also going to look to get all this information available as I've found a lot of relatives just by post on a Coatbridge FB page. Will be meeting local MSP when I'm home in November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraG Posted 6 November , 2022 Share Posted 6 November , 2022 (edited) I have added some possibilities on Coatbridge site, apologies if previously checked. Some confusion in WFA Pension Records with wife's details when compared to CWGC Entry. Coatbridge Address - sorry I don't have links.
