Welcome to The Walthamstow War Memorial Research Pages
Researching a soldier who fought in the First World War?
Using years of experience, our research resources are at your disposal to offer a fixed-price research service.
All you have to do is provide details of the soldier(s) you would like researched; normally we can trace a man even if you only have a name and some idea of where he was from.
BASIC PACKAGE
Print out of details from Soldiers Died in the Great War - this includes full military details, plus where born, enlisted and living, and if there was previous service in another unit.
Copy of colour Memorial Scroll personalised to the soldier, from Soldiers Died in the Great War.
List of men from the same unit who died the same date - learn the names of the comrades who died with him.
Full colour trench map showing the battlefield where he died
Extract from the Official History of the war giving details of what was happening on the day he died.
