As we approach the 80th anniversary of VE Day (8th May) we are asking for your help. 

We want to gather as much biographical information as we can about each of the Tutbury Fallen of WWII (whether they Fell before or after VE Day).

The table below lists the thirteen WWII Fallen on the War Memorial plus William Henry Brown of the Home Guard who also died whilst on Active Service.

We already have a lot of information about the Tutbury hero Sgt CW Bull from his family and some information about Alan Tom Sanders.  Do you know anything about them (excl. Sgt Bull) – are you a relative, do you know their families or their friends or where their families went if they left the area – do you know anything about these men?

All information would be welcome – we would like to publish the men’s biographies before VE Day so the sooner you can help us the better.

Thank you in advance – help us to remember those who sacrificed their lives for us.

Please contact us on info@nuth.me.uk – your help would be very much appreciated
