Hello Liverpool Annie, I am researching the names on our village War Memorial and found this forum thread by a search for Hugh Godfrey De Lisle Bush. On reading your posts I understand he is your relative. I didn't realise that Foxhill Club was the home of the Lysaghts Roll of Honour and I have been in and out of that club a number of times over the years! My Grandfather was a long serving Lysaghts employee. Our local heritage group Burton Stather Heritage Group decided that it was high time the village had a War Memorial that was more accessible by the public. The plaques we have are hung in the church and many are unaware they are even there and so the research task became mine...a total novice. We have added something to our website about each one up to now but added more all the time and it's growing well. Here is the link direct to Hugh Godfrey De Lisle Bush. May I use the information you have above plus the photograph file? http://www.burtonstatherheritage.org/rollofhonour.php?id=20 Here is the link to the artist impression of the new war memorial which is totally funded by our group. Our research is paying off and we already have another name to add for a 16 year old boy who lost his life on HMS Queen Mary, in the Battle of Jutland. He has been lost for 96 years but we have him found now https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=9d89...X.SkyDrive&sc=Photos&authkey=!Ag7iFXWujaQJBDE Hope to hear back from you. Kind Regards Karen
