- The Yorkshire Regiment, First World War Lists of Names
|
As the website for Remembrance of the Yorkshire Regiment in the First World war grows, so lists of names of soldiers who served in the war and who died in the War come to hand. Parts of these list contents have already been incorporated into the website.
Eventually all the names on these lists of names will be included in the overall website, such that a search will rapidly find the name of any man whose details are held in these pages. In the meanwhile however, lists of names are made available here so that researchers can at least get some idea as to whether a particular name is, or will be, available.
