We will continue to mark new losses with "New" or "updated" marked in red next to the description. We have thousands of losses to be added to the website but it does take time also, wherever possible, we check our sources to make sure that the information is correct. We would like to thank people who contact us with any additions or alterations.
Please sign our guestbook if you like what you see or you have other suggestions that will assist us, but remember that all of us within the Society do all of this as a service to those who gave their lives during WW2 and we make no money from it. All the memorials we erect we pay for in addition we do not have any advertisements on our site apart from the guestbook page and the money for that advertising goes to the provider.
We are asked to carry out research for people interested in researching aircrew from WW2 - we always try and assist where possible and if we have the information you want we will send it to you, however, this does take up our time and as we are working on future projects if we are unable to assist please understand the reasons.
