Inscription:

To the Glorious Memory of the Men
of the Wath Main Colliery
Whose Names are Recorded Here.
Who Gave their Lives in the Great War,
1914-1918
[names]
Their Name Liveth for Evermore.

Information:
The Wath Main Colliery war memorial was unveiled on Saturday 12 November 1922 by Captain B. H. Pickering M.C., a former manager of the Colliery. It was positioned on the wall between the new pay offices and surrounded by a semi-circular iron fence with steps at the base. There are 125 names on this memorial. 

It would be nice to have a photograph of the memorial in its original position in the Colliery yard. I have tried to work out where it might have been on an old map and this is my best guess. The semi-circular lines just below my red marker might be the fence referred to above.

In / Proud And / Ever Living / Memory Of / The Men Of / This Town / Who Gave / Their Lives / In The / Great War / 1914-1918

[on a small metal plaque in raised gothic style font]
This Memorial erected by the townspeople Wath and district was unveiled by / Major A. D. B. Johnson M. A.  T. D. on the 25th of September 1921

Newspaper photo from Find My Past

Information:
The memorial's location, on the edge of the churchyard at All Saints, Wath, was not the original proposal. That would have seen the memorial erected on High Street, in front of Cross House, better known now as The Church House J D Wetherspoons pub. (Penistone, Stocksbridge and Hoyland Express, 27 March 1920, p.10.) 
 
The change of site to the Town Hall grounds was announced in early March 1921. It seems that the Committee had faced problems buying the land initially proposed. Voluntary subscriptions had been collected and the fund then stood at £700 which would be sufficient to cover all costs if the memorial location was changed. (Mexborough and Swinton Times, 5 March 1921, p.3.)

The unveiling of the Wath-upon-Dearne and West Melton War Memorial Cross on Sunday 25 September 1921, by Major E. D. B. Johnson, was reported in the Penistone, Stocksbridge and Hoyland Express on 1 October 1921, p.8. The Lord Bishop of Sheffield dedicated the memorial (see photo above). The memorial was officially handed over to the local authority of Wath, for safe custody in perpetuity, and accepted by Councillor Marshal Robson on behalf of the town. 

During the singing of hymns hundreds of wreaths and flowers were placed by the memorial by relatives of the men lost. Friendly Societies and Clubs placed wreaths on behalf their fallen members.
 
The cross was described as being of 'Bolton Wood stone', and standing 18 feet high. Oddly the inscription was recorded as reading, "In proud and ever-living memory of the men of this town who have their lives in the Great War, 1914-1918. The names of the 244 men whose memories the monument is intented to perpetuate are recorded thereon." (This second sentence does not appear on the memorial today.) The name panels were of bronze and the newspaper report included a full list of names. 

There are 244 names on the three main panels on the base of the memorial and another 12 on a small additional panel. The book, Wath upon Dearne War Memorial, 1914-1918 by G A Mangham (2021) suggests that five of the names are duplicate entries and two were not actually casualties, leaving 249 individual men.

Wath upon Dearne, All Saints, York and Lancaster Memorial

 

York and Lancaster Regiment Memorial

Photographed by Nigel Croft 25 September 2021

Research by BarnsleyHistorian

Inscription:

To the Everlasting
Honour and
Glory of the
8,814 Officers
Non-Commissioned
Officers and Men
of the
York & Lancaster
Regiment who Fell
in the Great War
1914 --------------1919


The bronze plaque is headed by a York and Lancester badge flanked by four more Yorkshire roses.
To the left of the first four lines of text there is a Columbus or Templar style cross. The whole is framed in white marble. 

Reported in the Mexborough and Swinton Times, 25 April 1915, p.8.
The unveiling ceremony took place on Saturday 18 April 1925. Identical plaques were to be have been unveiled by Lord Plumer that same weekend in Barnsley, Rotherham and Pontefract. However due to his illness the Wath plaque was unveiled by Mrs Mitchell, of Sandygate, Wath, and widow of Colonel Thomas W H Mitchell. The opportunity was also taken to 'lay up' the colours of the 2nd/5th Battalion of the York and Lancaster Regiment in the church. 

The "Last Post" was sounded by the drums and bugles outside the church, and the colour of the 2nd/5th Battalion was then brought into the church by an escort, handed to Colonel Rhodes, who subsequently handed it to the Vicar, who placed it on the altar.

First World War battles such as Gallipoli, Passchendaele and Messines.

To the Glory of God
And the Dear Memory of
Charles Cuthbert Johnson
Elder son of

The plaque includes a Royal Engineers badge surrounded by blue mosiac, embedded in a frame of carved foliage resting in the centre of an elaborate pediment. At the bottom of the plaque more carved leaves support the frame with a Templar style cross in the centre of the foliage. The text is framed by tiny carved grapes, vines and foliage with touches of blue mosiac in the background. 

The Mexborough and Swinton Times on 4 August 1917 (p.2) described the mural tablet as a 'work of art'. The dedication had taken place the previous Sunday, 29 July 1917.

Inscription on both plaques:

To the Glory of God in Memory of the Fallen
From the District of Saint James, this Reredos is Erected
Greater love hath no man than this, that
A man lay down his life for his friends
At Rest
[names]
Jesu, Mercy

Information:

The dedication and unveiling of the carved oak Reredos at St James Church, Wath-in-Dearne (sic), took place on Thursday 18 March 1920. It was reported in the Mexborough and Swinton Times on 20 March 1920. The names of 70 men of the parish who had fallen in the war were read out and were listed in the newspaper report.  
However, there are 82 names on the above framed plaques, 40 on the first shown and 42 on the second. Both lists are almost entirely in alphabetical order and are different from each other. 
There are some spelling differences between the newspaper report and the plaques, for example Garbett and Garbutt or Pyott and Pyot and even Burdin and Durdin!

The information on the IWM War Memorials Register is somewhat inaccurate. A submission will be made, including the above images, with a request to update the entry for this memorial.

Inscription:

The East Window of This Church is Dedicated
To the Glory of God in Memory of Those who
Fell in the Great War 1914-1918

Information:
In the Mexborough and Swinton Times 2 July 1921, p. 2, there is a full report of the unveiling and dedication ceremony which took place on Sunday 26 June 1921. The dedicatory plaque was described, 'enclosed in an oak frame is the Roll of Honour of 157 local men, no matter of what creed or sect, who fell in the war'. The article then lists the names transcribed below. The article also gives the text which appears on the window, at the top, 'Worthy art Thou for Thou was slain and didst purchase unto God men of every tribe' and below, 'These are they which came out of great tribulation and have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb'.
