Brigg Blog has made previous reference to the great work done by students at Sir John Nelthorpe School in finding out about some of the servicemen from the town who fought during the 1914-18 war.
The group is being led by teacher David Waite, who attended a meeting of Brigg Town Council some months ago to explain about the research and what they aimed to achieve.
At their December meeting on Monday in the Angel Suite, town councillors were told that SJN had been successful in its application for a grant.
Subsequently, Brigg and Goole MP, Andrew Percy, has Tweeted: "Great news that @heritagelottery have awarded Sir John Nelthorpe £16,400 to research Brigg men & women lost in WWI. Pleased to support this."
