February 2023 saw the addition of six new posts, bringing the total number for the study to 218. Two others were updated.

The additions included four weekly newspaper pages for February 1917. 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.

Unfortunately, because I have been in hospital throughout most of February, there have been no new Memorial biographies. And although more men who served and survived have been identified and that page includes these new names, no new biographies were added here this month either.

The posts which were added this month are a new occupation post – that of mason’s labourer. And the 1918 Infants’ School Log Book.

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.
