"THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE"
In August 1990 Michael and his late father Peter began their task to
discover more of the background behind 66 names engraved on a memorial
tablet inside St. John the Baptist Church in Enderby, Leicestershire.
This initial task has turned into some 2,000 A4 pages of what is
probably the most comprehensive study of the war dead of Leicestershire
and Rutland, spread over five volumes.

of Rutland, and the membership to date now exceeds 3,500!

The Society has published many indexes
