STAR reporter Rachel Herrity, in a recent article (November 23), showed the determination of the relatives of a young WW Two Sgt H A Stanworth in having his name inscribed on the local Cenotaph over 50 years after he gave his life over Germany at the age of 20 in September of 1943.

A few years ago, on retiring, I decided to list all the names on a Website, and came across a few omissions. Though many have since been corrected it's a slow moving job.

The young Sgt mentioned would have been about my age now if he had survived, and would, like me, been amazed at the changes in the electronic age. Since that article appeared, his name and details have been uploaded to the World Wide Website. And along with some 450 others whose names are there can be accessed on the Web address: www.st-helens-virtual-cenotaph.co.uk

One other omission on the Cenotaph that is a puzzle, is a certain WAAF (Womens Royal Air Force) AC/W Margaret Neary who died on active service. Was she the only woman who died on active service during the last war?

On the Website listed above, there is a form that can be completed which will be used to continually update information of these valiant townspeople who can now be circulated world wide on this non subsidised or sponsored website.

Incidentally, 'Whalleys World' indicated an interest in other people who died during the 1941/42 Blitz period, both in Manchester and St Helens. In the Form referred to above there is a category under 'Service' that caters for Civilian (Others) that can be completed, and they could be listed in the same way. Any suggestions or comments can be sent to me at billratcliffe@ic24.net.

Bearing in mind the ages of the survivors of this cruel war, perhaps the younger people of the town could speak to their grandparents and information about their relatives and friends who died so young many years ago, this website has received Emails from all parts of the globe, and keeps growing as more and more of St Helens people contribute.
