Projects like this cannot be complete alone and many people have helped with the research and the development of this site.
It's impossible to thank everyone, so if I have missed your name off here, I am truly sorry.
My father Edward (another
Old Bloxhamist!) first took me to a WW1 cemetery on route back to the Channel. That first visit to Canadian Cemetery
No 2 near Vimy sparked an interest in me that has remained with me ever since. We have clocked up thousands of miles
together visiting cemeteries, and a finer travelling companion I couldn't ask for.
This project couldn't have
got where it is without the enthusiasm and help of Simon Batten of the Bloxham history department. Thank you Simon.
The
following have all helped in one way or another: Andy Pay (a mine of information on all things Rifle Brigade), Bruce Kilshaw,
Will O'Brien, Martin and Kate Wills,Charlotte Cardeon-Descamps, Paul Reed, Chris Baker, Terry Denham, Terry Reeves, Alan
Carter, Roy Evans, "Sarah" at the Zimbabwe National Archives, Hobbit and the rest of the Ypres Kwak Sqauad.
Most
of all, my thanks go to my long suffering wife Kirsty. She has remained in good humour (most of the time) as the living
room floor disappeared under yet more piles of research, and she kept smiling as I wandered through the rain in search of
"one more headstone I promise".
Most of all she has welcomed the ghosts of the past into our house and for
that I am most grateful.
