Hi everyone This being the season for commemorating the centenary of the First World War I thought we might add the Thankful Villages ( aka Blessed Villages) to our map. Thankful Villages have no memorial to the war dead since everyone of their service personnel returned home ( not necessarily unhurt - but alive). Some villages are Doubly Thankful having had all their service personnel from BOTH world wars return home.
There are 53 Thankful Villages in England and Wales - see Wikipedai article <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thankful_Villages> Reference 2 in that article contains most of the research - some claims are doubtful and those are indicated. How to tag? Suggestion offered: Thankful_Village= yes_WWI Thankful_Village= double_WWI&II wikipedia= en:Thankful_Villages wikidata=Q3519572 Regards Brian
