    How many names do you think might have been omitted from your local WW1 War memorial? Ten, twenty, surely not as many as fifty? Well, here's the story of Kate Booth who wrote a booklet that eventually led to the discovery of some THREE HUNDRED forgotten men from the vicinity of Stalybridge, Cheshire.
