The Richmond Church Roll of Honour
The Roll of Honour which is kept in the Parish Church in Richmond,
North Yorkshire, records the names of almost 7,500 names of men who lost
their lives. The figure of 7,500 is quoted in the official history of the
regiment.
However, the church Roll of Honour does not include a number of men who
died at home, and does not include every soldier who was originally in the
Yorkshire Regiment but who were transferred to other regiments (including
the Machine Gun Corps, where they might be serving alongside members of
the Yorkshire Regiment).
There are also groups, such as men in the 16th Battalion, who were transferred
to a Labour Company, but who were nevertheless buried with a Yorkshire Regiment
headstone. These men were excluded from the Roll of Honour kept in Richmond's
parish church.
This website is extremely grateful to the Director of the
Green Howards Museum
in Richmond for arranging for photographing the entire Roll of Honour and
for allowing us to usethese photographs.
