My research is not purely about those men who went off to war. People who lived in Brandon during the duration of the war had equally interesting stories. For now I have purely added what I know to the web site, which may be of some use to people researching their genealogy. I shall add further information as I progress through the research. If you would like to know more about them then please ask and I will see if I have anything else not yet added to the web site. I have split the people into three categories.
