Meeting of the Barnsley War Memorials Project 6 February 2014

The second meeting of the Barnsley War Memorials Project will be held on Thursday 6 February 2014 from 2pm to 4pm in meeting room 10 of Barnsley Town Hall.

The Barnsley War Memorials Project's initial aim is to produce a Roll of Honour of the Fallen of the First World War for the Barnsley area.  Further information can be found here.

Items to be discussed include the aim and scope of the project (including funding), actions for Barnsley History Day (23 February 2014), Research in Progress and avoiding duplication, recruiting new volunteers and roles for volunteers.

All are welcome, but please contact us first if you can so that we know how many people to expect.  Supporting papers can be requested from the same contact.

Thank you for your support.

The newspaper cutting added here refers to the plaque in St James' church which was dedicated in 1921 and has now been transferred to Silkstone Church.  We are still searching for documentary evidence supporting this wartime Roll of Honour.  However, note the list of names at the end of the cutting -  who are not all men named on this RoH - suggesting it was especially for the Wentworth Castle staff rather than a list of local men.  The names may have been added chronologically, as they are not in alphabetical order.

The memorial had lost its urn before our first photograph in 2009, and between then and 2013 the shrubs around it had grown so large that it was almost impossible to get pictures of the inscriptions on the sides of the pillar.  In July 2014 work has obviously been carried out, first the panels on the pillar appeared cleaner and the undergrowth had been cut back and then one evening an Urn appeared!  We pulled the car to a rapid stop and leapt out to photograph the new arrival.  Great news. Thank you to whoever is responsible.
