    Hi Folks

    The following men are commemorated on the 2nd World War plaques on the Memorial in Ibstock, Leicestershire and I'm struggling to identify the individuals from the searches on CWGC and the Forces War Records site and I'm hoping you helpful folk can give me some pointers.

    E A Ball
    A Cockburn
    A Cooper
    H A Fletcher
    A J Nicholls
    G Sharpe
    G Woodward

    Although the names do appear there is no obvious connection to Ibstock or the surrounding villages and I'm also concious that some of the guys from the 1st war have errors on their initials.

    Many thanks for your help.

    Vic, it might be worth asking if Ibstock has a Roll of Honour. I have a copy of the RoH for Hornchurch and it lists WW1 and WW2 civilian and service war deaths commemorated on our local war memorial together with some family details, addresses etc.
