Hi Dene, I have 3 great uncles who died in WW1. One born in Shefffield and 2 at Hemingfield nr Wombwell although when they were in the war, the family had moved to Sheffield. Would you be interested in these two also? I do have information on them all. I have looked through your folders in the Local studies but there isn't any info on them in there.

 

Good Luck with the project,

Carose

Hi Linnet, thanks for the info but what was his name please ? Would definately like any images you have .

 

Hi carose, yes please to anything you have.

Hi carose, yes please to anything you have.

 

Hi Dene, As I have quite a bit of info on each soldier, is there any way to get it to you other than putting it on the forum. I am thinking of photo's, docs etc. It might take me a week or two to get it all together and I am going away for a week in a couple of weeks. I will be in the archives every Tuesday, the week after they re-open on the 5th, so can always leave anything there for you.
