Barnsley Cemetery CWGC Burials

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) recognises the burials of men and women who fell in the First and Second World Wars. Where a man or woman has no known grave they are remembered on CWGC memorials around the world, usually close to the place that they fell.  

The most common CWGC gravestone is made of Portland stone, some are made from Botticino stone, which looks like marble. They are bright white when new and very conspicuous in a churchyard or cemetery even when a little darkened by age. In Scotland they can be granite and in Wales you can see slate gravestones. The size and style of the stones was designed to be the similar for everyone, no matter what rank, regiment, class, religion or nationality. See this section on the CWGC website for background information.  

Each stone has a rounded top (to prevent the water settling), some have the crest or badge of a regiment and/or a religious symbol. There is an inscription giving rank, name, regiment and date of death, sometimes age is included. At the foot of the stone is a space for a family dedication. 

When the burial of a serviceman or women is within a family plot, their details are often recorded on a family gravestone. This can be quite confusing as other family gravestones in the same churchyard bearing similar inscriptions are memorials to men or women NOT buried there (please see our War Memorial Gravestone page for Barnsley Cemetery where there are 157 entries). It is only when a burial has taken place that the site is recorded by the CWGC. 

There are 132 CWGC burials in Barnsley Cemetery. 71 are from the First World War, 61 are from the Second World War. 

CWGC are responsible for the commemoration of personnel who died between
4 August 1914 and 31 August 1921
and
3 September 1939 and 31 December 1947
whilst serving in a Commonwealth military force or specified auxiliary organisation or after they were discharged from a Commonwealth military force, if their death was caused by their wartime service.

<!-- Comment if any are inscriptions on family gravestones -->

William Reader Private 3599 Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) Killed in Action 13 November 1916 in France. A calculation from his war gratuity suggests he enlisted in June 1915, so he was a volunteer. He was buried in Hunter's Cemetery at Beaumont Hamel along with a number of other Highland Division soldiers, who had been killed on the same day during the taking of the village. The Cemetery had been
 a giant shell hole, and was used for burials after the battle.  William Reader does not appear to be remembered on any war memorial in Barnsley.  

William was born in Hillsborough Barracks on 1 September 1883 and baptised there on 19 September. His father George, who was originally from Wales or Kent, was a Driver serving in the Royal Artillery. His mother Mary Ann (nee Ledger) was Sheffield born. They had married in Sheffield in 1877. In 1891 they are living at South Street Battery in Scarborough.  William had an older sister, Clara, born in Sheffield in 1878, who died in India in 1879. William's older brother, Nathaniel, had been born in India in 1880/1. He died in Scarborough aged 11 in 1892. George left the army between 1891 and 1901 and the family is in Barnsley, at 9 Sherwood Street, in April 1901. William and his father were both working in a glass bottle factory.  George Reader died in 1905, Mary Ann Reader in 1913, both are buried in Barnsley Cemetery.  

William married Elizabeth Ann Barrett in 1904, at St John's Church, Barebones, Barnsley.  They had at least four children, Nathaniel b. 1905, George b. 1907 d. 1908, Mary Ellen b. 1911 and John b. 1914. Both William and his parents are proving difficult to find in the 1911 census. Elizabeth Ann Reader married George Copley in 1924, they had two children together, Olive and Ivy.  In 1939 they lived at 19 Lewis Road, Lundwood. 

Mary Ellen Reader, William's daughter, had married Harry Mellor in 1930, and in 1939 they were living in 1 Saville Street, Cudworth.  Harry joined the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry in the Second World War, was transferred to the South Staffordshire Regiment and was killed in France on 16 July 1944. They had at least four children, the last born after Harry's death. He is remembered on the Cudworth war memorial.  Mary Ellen Mellor (nee Reader) married John H Williams in 1948 and had two more children.

Albert Shaw Private 9871 Army Cyclist Corps, 31st Division Cyclist Company
Died of Wounds, Splenic Leucoythaemia following gas poisoning, on 15 May 1916 at Southport aged 23.
He is buried in Darton Churchyard and has a CWGC headstone.
The war memorial at Darton has no names upon it and Albert is not remembered on any other memorial in Barnsley that we are aware of.
Albert's parents were Francis Edward Shaw, born in Hepworth or Holmfirth and Ellen Ann (nee Smith) born in Thurlstone. They are also both buried at Darton.  As they had at least ten children I imagine there are many descendants living in the area.
In 1911 the family lived on Huddersfield Road at Darton, and later they moved to Nicholson Avenue.
