November 2022 saw the addition of six new posts, bringing the total number for the study to 195. Two other pages were updated.

The additions included four weekly newspaper pages for November 1916. I have accordingly updated the surname index to these During This Week newspaper pieces, so you can easily identify newspaper snippets relevant to your family.

I have written two new War Memorial biographies, those of Thomas William Chappell and Henry Groark.

More men who served and survived have been identified. I have updated that page accordingly. No new biographies were added here in November, but they will follow in due course.

Below is the full list of pages to date. I have annotated the *NEW* and *UPDATED* ones, so you can easily pick these out. Click on the link and it will take you straight to the relevant page.
