There's old messages on Ancestry - which lists the cousins killed in action in France

Leigh BEARD and William Daniel BEARD.

Lena Grace STRIDE married Frank MANSELL from Cheltenham - these were cousins of the soldiers.

More info from old message

'The Beard family had a big theatre connection as he has a very old press photo of the theatre troop with the Beard name above it etc.etc. The Beard family had a large influence in Cinderford, local shop's pub, the post office and all sorts.....'

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
