Wartime Website Again

Hi All

Liverpool Wartime Website http://liverpoolremembrance.weebly.com/

I am posting it again as it seems to have slackened off. I am trying to get interest in it again and bring it to peoples attention.

You can add anyone who served/died/worked or lived during either of the two world wars.

You can add anyone from Liverpool/Sefton/Knowsley/St Helens or the Wirral. Anywhere on Merseyside.

We want stories of Evacuees, People who worked here firefighters/airwardens etc/ Servicemen who either died or came back home/Prisoner of war either our boys abroad or Germans/Italians over here/ basically anyone.

We would love stories of Woman during the war years. Go ask you older rellies for stories on them and the men.

were you a child during the war? do you have any stories to share?

If you only know a little on someone you would like to add then that is ok. we can add them under just a name.

You can also add photos of the person you are adding if you have any.

Look at the site and see how stories have been set out, then you can decide if you want to add anyone.

Please tell your friends and family about the site and help it to grow.

Cheers

Tony and Ged

I've got a few folk to add Spike, still getting the details. I've got one soldier, two sailors and a Land Army girl. I'll post it to you soon.

Scroll down to Roberts. Its such a sad story.

Thank you for submitting them Lindy.

Thanks to Spike & Ged for setting up an excellent web-site where people can relate their family stories :handclap:

I feel inspired to try and learn to scan in photos etc and then I can put some more stories etc on to the site !.....surely it cant be too hard , can it ?

Hi Spike,

The one signed by a certain well known person is a great one, not seen many of them.

You have one of the saddest photos I have ever seen there Squiggs, something that should never be forgotten.

Just a bit of work then we can let them know on here.

I would have to agree that "that" photo should never be forgotton Spike !, it was the last one of a set taken by my father in law and when we looked at them we got the shock of our lives at seeing the final one !.
I can only assume that to get a letter like that he would have had to do something very brave !.

Squiggs All uploaded now. Thank you, brilliant things you have sent on there.

Ok people get looking.

Two very interesting additions with great pics.

Squiggs dad John " Jack Hughes, and Father-in-law Eric Cole

John " Jack Hughes http://liverpoolremembrance.weebly.c...names-g-k.html Scroll to half way

Eric Cole http://liverpoolremembrance.weebly.c...names-a-c.html Close to bottom of page

Eric took many photograhs during the war. One is included here of a mass grave at Belsen. It is graphic so warning is given here that it may upset you to see it. I think it needs to be added for its historical importance...Lest We Forget this ever happened. Also added is an Award to Eric signed by" Monty "

Eric snapped a lot in Germany in 1945 you can see them here http://liverpoolremembrance.weebly.c...otographs.html


Thank you Squiggs for submitting them. I am proud to have them on there.

Have just been on the site......how sad some of the stories are, but how proud their families must be.

I know you are proud as punch and rightly so.

Everyone who has contributed must be given a pat on the back for helping us to remember our history and especially Spike and Ged for providing the means to keep these memories and pics in one place :handclap:
And yes I've still to add mine, will get it together soon Spike !

When your ready Mart:PDT11

Is true what you say, without input from so many people the site would not work.

Well done All :handclap:

Its a real thrill for me to look on the site and see the faces of my family staring back at me !, I'll be gathering more rellies when I can get pictures etc ...

Thanks Squiggs, great stories, thanks Mart for pics and Lindy - everyone who has contributed and of course Spike without whom.
