Note:
This memorial has been recorded and transcribed and attached to the Barnsley & District War Memorials site because a significant number of men who were born within the Barnsley Borough were commemorated on this memorial. It is hoped that this will make it possible for visitors to the site to search for their Barnsley relatives in one place. As far as we are aware only the War Memorials Register currently includes a transcription of the full names list, and that does not display the regimental headers to each group of men. These will be included here for the assistance of visitors in identifying their relatives.

Photography:
Individual panels photographed by either BarnsleyHistorian or Nigel Croft on 29 Aug 2023.
The polished panels made photographing difficult but by combining pictures taken from various angles and with different camera settings we were able to fully transcribe the memorial.
