Thanks for the help. I already knew about Walter, my cousin went with my Aunt to see the memorial in france a couple of years ago. I'll just have to wait until the info is available online, i have no idea on which regiment he was with or where he served.

Entries on the National Roll, a private publication, had to be paid for and so the number of entries is limited. Apart from that the project ended when only a few of the larger cities had been covered. It is available to view on certain sites online for a small fee but I think the Manchester entries may be available without charge. That's my recollection but best google to find out more.
