After a bit of on-line research I discovered that my great uncle Albert was not comemerated on the wall of Liverpool Town Hall Room of Rememberance. This is dedicated to all those Liverpool men who lost their lives in The Great War, even the ones who had emigrated and had returned with the Commonwealth armies to fight. My family were invited to the Town Hall for the Dedication Ceremony, which we attended expecting to be the only ones there. It was a big surprise when we got there because the place was packed full and there were 120 other names being added. The Lord Major explained that for many years there were no additions to the memorial but now that people can research family history so much easier it's resulted in more names being added every year. It was a proud but very sad day.
