The site is a credit to the many hours of hard work taken to create it, thank you.

Comment: This a Great site I got quite a lot of information from a Prescot lad Stephen Nulty and Tony Naylor.
My Uncle Ernest Newton Barrell Rear Gunner FLT/SGT is mentioned as he perished on the 20th april 1944 the Black Thursday new to the crew he had been transferred to Capt. Mansbridge Lancaster J-JIG-JB659 .They had bombed Stuttgart the previous evening and on Black Thursday were on a drop over Berlin they were brought down on the return run . They are buried in Heverlee war cemetery. His wife My dads sister Anne and her son Michael lived in South Ave The Wood Prescot His name is on the footnote freeze of the Prescot cenataph.
My Grandad Thomas Maxwell Was with the Royal Engineers Tunnelling and making roads and assembling bridges. He met on the field of Battle at THE SOMME alongside his Brother in Law Padre Captain William Fitzmaurice M.C. CreuxdeGuerre with oak leaves and palms Irish Regiment. Great Uncle William was taken prisoner carrying his commrades off the field of battle and was taken P.O.W. after the war the TWO Prescot lads were reunited and William went as Parish priest in Wigan Lancs.

Comment: Thank you so much for posting the pictures that I sent to you of my grandfather (Thomas Edward Chadwick) and family on your wonderful website. Thank you also for the further information you supplied to me. I was born in Great Britain and immigrated to the USA as a young adult. I remember visiting the old St. Mary's churchyard as a child when my mother would put flowers on the family graves. Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing to honour these great men. I have also enjoyed reading your very informative newsletters!

Comment: Just following on from my last post, I have since found out from John's Death Certificate: There was a blow-out of molton lead from a lead cable extruding press at the Cable Works, where he worked as a Lead Sheathing Press Attendant.
Cheers,
Robert

Comment: Hi Stephen, I came across this brilliant site whilst researching my family history. As the BICC is featured on here, I was wondering if anyone had any information on the Foundry explosion in 1953, when my uncle John Riley was killed?
Reply: If you can add any information in response to Robert's query, please email me and I will pass the information on to him

Comment: I came across this website by accident and though I can find no connection (yet!) to my own family I just wanted to thank you for all the work that has gone into this meticulously researched and well-presented website. It is lovely to see these men remembered as people rather than just regimental numbers. This has clearly been a labour of love and respect. Very best wishes to all concerned
