ssmith Posted 13 March , 2008 Share Posted 13 March , 2008 If you are interested I am creating a Roll of Honour book for Darnall (in the making) would apreciate any photos of soldiers from Darnall to be entered in a gallery at the back. George Wilkinsons name is on the list. You might have noticed ther is no WW1 memorial at Church of Christ in Darnall, this went missing in the mid 80's if you have any info on its whereabouts please PM me, Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
