Somebody told me once about a so called luck six. That there are six towns in England that do not have a war memorial. I was told this is because nobody from these towns was killed in either the first or second world wars. I was wondering if this is true or did the person that told me this fact make it up.

The only reference to a "lucky six" I can find in British history is the six survivors of the Gresford mining disaster of September 22, 1934. 266 miners were killed in an explosion.

It would seem unlikely to be true,in WWI it would have been difficult to find a village taht did not lose someone in battle and in the second world war all the towns would have lost somebody.In the city where I lived even streets had stone tablets with lists of the dead.

I can't find any references on Yahoo search, Wicipedia, Google or Ask Jeeves to six towns that have no war memorial.
I would think that it is a myth that he/she has probably been told. It happens alot.
