Not Forgotten - Men not Named on Barnsley War Memorials

This is a page for Barnsley connected men and women who fell in the First World War who are not remembered on any War Memorial in Barnsley that we have found so far.  We currently (May 2016) have over 700 names listed on our master spreadsheet of servicemen who were born in Barnsley or who lived in Barnsley when they enlisted who are not named on a memorial.  Some ARE named on memorials outside the Barnsley MBC area, but we want to include everyone who fits our criteria in our Roll of Honour. Each name will be individually checked before adding to this page.

We also intend to include war related civilian deaths and the deaths of volunteers, nurses and war workers.

Please let us know if you have a relative who you cannot find on any of our pages either here, on the website by using the search box on the right, or in our folders in Barnsley Archives. You can contact us at bwmp2015@gmail.com

Their names will be "Not Forgotten" by us or their families.

If there are words in blue it means there's a link to further information and/or to the solder's 'Life Story' on the IWM's Lives of the First World War website, where you can add your own photos and stories to the man's record.
