These are the recent ones I am aware of, though if there are other Salford men, or women, that you know of please add them to this thread. I know there was a soldier from Little Hulton who was killed in the First Gulf War, but haven't been successful in tracing any information, but hope someday to ensure his sacrifice is remembered here also.
