Hi Lester and thanks for the welcome. No I'm not looking for anyone in particular. I have always had an interest in military things and in the second world war in general. The Bombing of the north west doesn't seem to get as much mention as it should in my opinion. I know compared to the horror of the London Blitz it is not as important if that is the right word! but it's our Blitz. Many civilians died and the memorials to them in Manchester, Salford and towns and cities in the north west are very important but sometimes not easy to find. Sites like this one are a huge help to anyone with an interest in our wartime heritage and the resting places of those who bought this heritage with their lives
