I have a particular interest in local winners of the Victoria Cross who are commemorted on Shropshire war memorials. The ones I have identified so far are as follows:
Cpt John Brunt - Ellesmere College & Priestweston
Maj C Yate - Madeley
TOL Wilkinson - Quatt
A/S WC Williams - Stanton Lacy
Cpt H Ackroyd - Shrewsbury School
WN Stone - St Mary's, Shrewsbury
Maj W LaTouche Congreve - Haslehurst Memorial Hall, West Felton
TT Pryce - St Giles', Shrewsbury & Shrewsbury School
Is anyone out there aware of any others that I have missed or have any information about any of the gallant men in the list? If so, please let me know by posting here. Thanks.

hello again! just to show you that it is possible to post using the name or anonymous not just by having an email address - I have noticed though that you do have to put in the letters below as a security thing so maybe that is what the others were missing. It is easy when you know how but defo might be a good idea to write a post about it. you don't have to post this if you don't want to! blog is looking great!xx
I have researched all the men on the Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale war memorials, and I am now working on the Little Wenlock memorial. Rosemary
