There's an interesting story from the Western Morning News about a war memorial in Bodmin, Cornwall, which may have in the region of a hundred errors on it, due to the poor way that the information required for the memorial was gathered.The errors were unearthed by Ann Hicks of Cornwall Family History Society (www.cornwallfhs.com), and the project may cost in the region of £3000 to sort out.
