I wonder if you have seen the following on the search page at UKNIWM? I think it is fairly recent. VOLUNTEERS WANTED.
I don't think they will mind me copying it here.

Names Database: Please note the Channel 4 Lost Generation Names database is unavailable. We are currently in the process of retrieving the First World War names database from Channel 4 following our successful partnership with the Lost Generation series. The database will be accessible on the UK National Inventory of War Memorials website once we have transferred and sorted the data. If you are interested in assisting with editing the current names data and inputting further names do contact us. You can work on the project remotely from home and training is provided to help you carry out the task. You will be given a set of memorial names lists to work with and, once edited, you can return these and come back for more if you wish! With around 690,000 names remaining to be checked the more helpers the merrier.
The information for both the memorials and names databases has been supplied to the UKNIWM by a large team of volunteers and members of the public, to whom we are extremely grateful for all the hard work they have done.
We continue our work to record the remaining memorials and, where appropriate, to update and verify the existing information. So please visit our site again as new records and information are being added every day! |

How many names have we transcribed so far? Could we forward the lists on to them? |
