We know of the following people either living in Burnage or with a strong Burnage connection who died during the Second World War. We would welcome any information on them for our archive and for the third of our World War Two booklets.

We would welcome too, the wartime reminiscences of any other service personnel with a Burnage connection who survived the war. Photos would be especially welcome.
