William Henry McHugh Sergeant 235195 (formerly 2369) 1st/5th York and Lancaster. Killed in Action 5 May 1917 in France.
Born in Barnsley in Q1 1884. His parents were William Henry McHugh and Mary Connor, whose first child was born in the Tynemouth Registration District in 1883, despite them both being Yorkshire born themselves. His mother died in 1898, and his father in 1901. Both are buried in Barnsley Cemetery. William lived with his aunt Jane Daykin (his mother's sister) for a while.
William, who was a bricklayer, married Annie Whitehead in Q2 1905 in Barnsley. They had at least four children, including Dorothy, born in Spennymoor, Durham, in 1907.
William enlisted in September 1914 and went to France in 1915. He was wounded in July 1915 and was in hospital in Cambridge for a time. His home address was Blucher Street, Barnsley. He was 33 years old when he was killed. His gravestone in Pont-Du-Hem Military Cemetery has a family inscription, but he is not remembered on any memorial in Barnsley that we know of.
Annie McHugh remarried in 1919, in the North Bierley Registration District (near Bradford) to Frank Brannan. They had six children, including two sets of twins. The family were living in Shipley when William's CWGC stone was erected, and were still there in 1939.
There is a W H McHugh commemorated on a large community memorial in Nab Road Crematorium, Bingley Road, Shipley, which may be our man.

Frank Owen Private 50772 Lancashire Fusiliers
Died of Illness 6 November 1918 whilst a prisoner of war in Germany.
Frank was born in Barnsley in mid 1887, probably at 14 Locke Street, Kingstone. His father was William Owen, a widower from Iron Bridge in Shropshire, his mother was Ann Dellow his father's housekeeper. William and Ann were shown in the census together in Barnsley in 1881 and 1891 so this was a long term arrangement, they had at least three children who were baptised at St George's in Barnsley. William and Ann were married in Q2 1894 in Barnsley. Ann died in 1899 and was buried as Ann Owen.
William Owen had moved in with his married daughter Jane Green at 11 Locke Street by 1911, and this is the address given in some newspaper reports about Frank being a prisoner of war in the Barnsley Chronicle in 1918. As William Owen had died in December 1914 joining Ann and their daughter Sarah, who had died aged 17 in 1907, in Barnsley Cemetery, it must have been Frank's sister who informed the newspaper.
Frank Owen had still been in Barnsley in 1911, living as a boarder with another family, working as a coal miner, but he must have moved away because when he enlisted in May 1917 (calculated from the war gratuity paid) he was living in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. He married Hetty Hulme in Wolstanton District, in Staffordshire at the end of 1917, but they had no children.
Frank appears to be remembered on the war memorial in Knutton, Newcastle-under-Lyme where Hetty was living when she claimed her Widow's pension. She remarried in 1920 having taken the grant offered by the government in place of the pension.

He was born in Wombwell in 1894, parents Jarvis Peace and Florence Annie (nee Hadfield), who had married in Wombwell in May 1893. Fred was the oldest of their seven children. Florence died in 1909, probably in Thurnscoe, which is where most of the family were recorded on the census in 1911. Older sister Ada was living with her grandmother Mary Ward in Broomhill, Wombwell.
Jarvis Peace enlisted in October 1914 giving his age as 47 years. He only served overseas for 49 days in 1917 in the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry. He gave his next of kin as his son Fred Peace living in Billingley. He was invalided home with Trench Foot and later transferred to the Northern Cyclist Corps. He was discharged in March 1919 and received a small pension.
Fred's younger brother Harry was Killed in Action on 7 July 1916 and is remembered on three war memorials in Wombwell.
Fred attested in February 1916, but was not mobilised until April 1918 and went to France in August after a bout of flu in June/July. He was killed in October. He had given his next of kin as his sister Ada at an address in Castleford. Ada was married in Castleford in June 1916, but had reverted to her maiden name and was living in Thurcroft, Rotherham, by the time she completed Fred's next of kin form in October 1919. On that form she declares that Jarvis Peace is dead 'to my knowledge' and does not know the whereabouts of her brothers Horace and Arthur. Her younger sister Florence was living with her. When Fred's back pay and war gratuity were released in May 1919 they went to his grandmother and sole legatee Mary Ward.
Jarvis Peace was not dead. He attempted unsuccessfully to claim pensions for both Harry and Fred. In 1939 he was living in Grimethorpe with his son Arthur. He died in 1949 aged 78.
