This website was initially conceived, researched and brought into being by Kevin Mitchell, who subsequently passed it to the Loughborough Carillon Tower and War Memorial Museum to maintain. We would like to acknowledge the great debt of gratitude owed to Kevin for the work he has done in that research and the many photographs he has added.
The site has now become a special project within the Carillon Museum, and additional researches by Marigold Cleeve, on behalf of the museum, have extensively enhanced the range and detail of many of the entries, for which we would like to express our gratitude.
Many other people have also contributed information, pictures and their time. We would like to thank the following people and organisations:
Bob and Carol Pike, Mel Gould, Kevin Stock, Barbara Mitchell, Richard Blood, Paul Reid, Clive Harris, Ian and Mo Spiby, Michael Kendrick, Ryan Mitchell, Kevin Sharman, and Kirt Russel.
The volunteers at the Loughborough Carillon, the staff at Loughborough Library, The Loughborough Echo, The Loughborough Herald & North Leicestershire Gazette, The Coalville Times, The Leicester Mercury, Charnwood Borough Council, The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (and thorough it the Office of Australian War Graves and Canadian Department of Veterans Affairs), The London Gazette, and Leger Battlefield Tours.
Our special thanks must go to the individual family members, who are too numerous to name, for their generosity in making available details and photographs, etc., of their loved ones.
