I'll help if I can...
Yes. For some men there are no records sadly.
I discovered the Imperial War Museum site before I discovered Coquet and Coast and Amble and District. I started (1987) with remembering Robert 'Bob' Close who I had the privilege to meet when he was 93 years old and his pals from some photo-postcards he kept.
I also have some other newspaper cuttings and postcards of the time. I no longer live in Amble, so could not help you at a local level. I would be only to happy to help you with research in anyway I can. I have paid for access to Premium Records with Imperial War Museum, their project lasts for the 4 years of the Centenary.
