<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi everyone<br><br></div>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.<br>
<br></div>There are 53 Thankful Villages in England and Wales - see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thankful_Villages">Wikipedai article</a><br><br></div>Reference 2 in that article contains most of the research - some claims are doubtful and those are indicated.<br>
<br></div>How to tag?<br><br></div><div>Suggestion offered:<br></div><div><br></div>Thankful_Village= yes_WWI<br></div>Thankful_Village= double_WWI&II<br></div><div>wikipedia= en:Thankful_Villages<br></div><div>wikidata=Q3519572<br>
