Bolton and the First World War War Memorials Project Local newspapers ran a special page each issue detailing the news from the front, listing the awards and medals won, those missing in action and those who were killed. A short biography included such information as when and where they enrolled in the services, their school or former place of employment, and whether they were single or married and place of worship. Once the information has been gathered, the database will be accessible in the Bolton History Centre.
