Thomas Fox Private 8258 Machine Gun Corps Missing Killed in Action 3 September 1916 Born in 1894 in Worsborough Bridge, Barnsley. He worked at the Hoyland Silkstone Colliery before his enlistment. His mother had died in 1897, and his father had remarried in 1900. His father Charles Fox, who lived at 32 Jarrott's Buildings in Worsborough Dale, and had been widowed a second time, claimed a pension for Thomas, but Charles himself died in October 1921, which was before the Worsborough Dale war memorial was erected.
Clifford Bernard France (aka Wade)
William Henry France Private 5813 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards Killed in Action 29 October 1914 in the First Battle of Ypres. Remembered by the CWGC on the Menin Gate in Ypres. Born in Stainborough on 11 March 1882 to Thomas France, a miner, and Elizabeth (nee Benson), one of three children. His father died on 2 May 1885, and his mother remarried on 3 August 1885 to Robert Warren, a widower, to whom she had four more children. William Henry France enlisted in the Coldstream Guards in 1904 and presumably served his term before discharge to the Reserve, because in December 1911 he married Clarice Dronfield at Penistone Church. He stated that his occupation was miner. They had two children, Lucy in May 1912 and Jack in October 1913. The couple lived at Clarice and Florence Buildings, Deepcar, Sheffield. William must have been recalled from the Reserve very quickly because he arrived in a Theatre of War on 13 August 1914. The 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards nearly 'ceased to exist' in October 1914. William was initially reported Missing Presumed Dead, then his death was confirmed in February 1915. Clarice received a pension for herself and her children initially, but on her remarriage on 26 May 1917 to Osbert William Herbert she took the gratuity offered of £36 17s in lieu of her own pension. Clarice had two more children with Osbert. William Henry France is remembered on the Stocksbridge Clock Tower memorial, the Bolsterstone memorial and the Roll of Honour in St John's church in Deepcar. Clarice Herbert died in 1964 aged 70.

Born at Cawthorne Lane in 1889, his father Joseph died in 1908. His mother Margaret was in Netherton, Huddersfield by 1916, but Joseph had been living in Sheffield when he enlisted in November 1914. He had a brother, Isaac and six married sisters all alive in 1919. One sister lived in Birdwell and two in Higham, but everyone else had moved away.

Henry Arthur Glasby Private 7078 2nd Battalion King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry Killed in Action 27 October 1914. Henry was born in Barnsley in 1884 to Charles Glasby from Lound, near Retford, Notts and his wife Betsy Ann (nee Fenton). In 1911 Henry Glasby was a boarder with the Wrigglesworth family in Mansfield Woodhouse. He married Ann Wrigglesworth in the Mansfield area in 1913, Ann had been born in Great Houghton, near Barnsley. They had a son, George Arthur, born before their marriage and a daughter, Betsey Ann born in February 1914. They lived in Mansfield Woodhouse after the war, and an H Glasby is Remembered on the memorial there.
Henry must have been a regular soldier as he was in a regular army battalion (2nd KOYLI) and landed in France on 11 September 1914. He was killed six weeks later alongside at least 16 other men in the same Battalion and Regiment, probably in the Battle of Messines. All are remembered on Le Touret Memorial.
His widow Ann remarried in 1925 and had two more children. She died in 1981 aged 86.

James Greaves Private 10926 York and Lancaster Regiment Died of Wounds 26 October 1916. James served in the Gallipolli campaign where he was wounded in the thigh in August 1915, and he also served in France where he received his fatal wounds to chest and arm on 29 September 1916. James was born in Wombwell in 1888. His parents were Henry Greaves and Hannah (nee Skorrow) who had married in Tankersley in 1886. However by 1891 Hannah was living with Walter Turton to whom she had a daughter Alice, born in 1890. Later this caused some confusion. James was remembered on the war memorial in Wath upon Dearne where his mother and step-father lived from about 1896. The book on the memorial suggests he is remembered there as both Greaves and Turton.

Thomas Hall Private 3/4765 York and Lancaster Regiment
Died of Wounds 25 October 1915 in 26 Casualty Clearing Station.
He is Remembered by the CWGC on the Helles Memorial, Gallipoli, which suggests that his grave was lost during subsequent fighting. Gallipoli was evacuated in December 1915/January 1916.
Thomas was born in Dodworth in 1890. His father, who was from Lancashire, had married a Rotherham born girl in Silkstone in 1879, but the family had moved back to Lancashire by 1896. Thomas joined the Territorial Force in 1908 while living in Mossley, Lancashire. He was still in the TF in 1913.
He married in 1914 in the Gainsborough district to Mabel Wilson from Doncaster. Her family lived at Prospect Place, near Hyde Park Cemetery, but she had gone into service as a general domestic servant by then and had been living away from home. Thomas entered a Theatre of War in September 1915 and was killed five weeks later.
Mabel returned home to her family in Doncaster, she had no children and was granted a pension of 10/- a week. This would have stopped when she married childless widower Walter Langton in 1925. He was 20 years older than Mabel. Mabel died in 1956 in Doncaster, four years after her elderly second husband.
Thomas is not named on a memorial in Barnsley, but he is remembered in All Saints Church in Mossley.
