Hi
does anyone know a link on the net where I can see a list of names on the East Retford War memorial for soldiers killed in WW1. I am particularly interested in the surname of Chandler and Millington
many thanks

A list is available from Nott's Family History Soc.
But the deaths I've found of Retford residents are:-
Arthur Clark Chandler Died of Wounds 7 Sep 1915.
Leonard Chandler Died of wounds 15 Apr 1916.
Charles Millington Killed in action 3 May 1917.
There are more details should you need them.

Hi Skewy
all three are my relatives that I am currently researching. They were my great Uncles. I would welcome any other info that you may have on them.
I will go and have a look at the Notts Family History site

Hi Kaycee

thanks ;D

Hi CT,
Do you already have pics of the two Chandler War graves (Longuenesse & Aubigny), and Millington on the memorial at Arras?
They all 3 show up on http://twgpp.org/index.php and may also be available on http://www.britishwargraves.co.uk but I can't get on that site at the moment, it may be down for maintenance.
