Featured Website: Every Man Remembered

The Royal British Legion has launched a website called Every Man Remembered which allows you to find the final resting place of Commonwealth service men and women who died during World War I.

You can use the site to pay tribute to any one of the 1 million + people who died fighting for the British Empire including those from Darwen by laying a poppy for them, commemorating them with a few words or sending a monetary donation in.

Visit the website at http://www.everymanremembered.org/
