Hi People
As you know we have been working away on the names for the new proposed Neilston war memorial, We have just about completed WW1 and are sitting at about 150 soldiers for WW1. Looking to WW2 onward we have about 65 soldiers names that are connected to our village and are looking to research these and confirm the connections of Worked/Lived/Born/enlisted. in Neilston East Renfrewshire.

If anyone would like too input to these data bases Or to check and see if we have missed any Service personnel, please PM me and I will send you a copy of either of the Databases.

Cheers Matt
