Plans
are in hand to restore and re-engrave Blackmore's War Memorial. Parish
Councillors are keen that names are properly transcribed. If you have
an ancestor from Blackmore and the neighbourhood who served in the
First World War, Second World War or subsequent conflicts we would be
particularly pleased to hear from you.
