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
