We think the man named on this memorial is the Walter Newsome who lived at 48 Summer Street in 1911 with wife Anne and children James, Edith, Lily and Anne. He is listed as a Glass Bottle Blower so this fits. He died on 1 December 1917 in Palestine and is remembered on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission here - http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/653010/NEWSOME,%20WBarnsleyHistorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17706725823398288376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963030183761648640.post-19766981061527299962014-10-12T17:01:03.954+01:002014-10-12T17:01:03.954+01:00Hi Muriel,
