These are two memorials which have recently arrived with the project.

Westcotes Congregational WW1 and WW2. We have very little information about either, or the church itself, so any help would be appreciated... #Leicester @BBCLeicester @leicslive

A CWGC headstone has been installed at Willesden New Cemetery in London for a #WWII casualty previously commemorated on the Brookwood 1939-1945 Memorial. The personal inscription was chosen by the casualty's niece.
