Hi David,

What are you interested in researching?

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission website should give you a lot of the information about their death and, for the 1914 war, can be combined with the 1901 census to give you the peacetime background of the men. The date of death and location of burial will give you an idea of the circumstances in which the men fell, together with regimental diaries, etc.

Should have said, Dean1 is an authority on the memorials and has spent a lot of time researching those in Sheffield. He has a thread somewhere about it.
