Remembrance
- The Yorkshire Regiment, First World War War Graves, Cemeteries, and MIs
|
Although people may be aware that many thousands of our service men who died in the First World War are buried overseas, less well known is the fact that a large number of service men died in this country and are buried in cemeteries and churchyards in Britain. All of these graves are designated as War Graves, and are maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
This website is collecting data on the War Graves of men of the Yorkshire Regiment, and where possible photographing the grave of each individual soldier located. In the UK, these graves and monumental inscriptions are presented in two groups;-
War Graves and Monumental
Inscriptions in North Yorkshire
and
War Graves and Mounmental Inscriptions in
the rest of the UK
Where we know that there is a War Grave, in this country, but we haven't been able to photograph it, - or obtain a photograph of it, we have listed it. When we are able to obtain a photo we will, of course, add it to those we have.
With numbers of people visiting the Battlefields of Europe and elsewhere, - especially the Western Front Battlefields, we are including photographs and data on the monuments and cemeteries commemorating these Battlefields and the men who fell in them. As above, we will be showing the photographs of individual graves and memorials to men of the Yorkshire Regiment in this section.
War Graves and Cemeteries, - Overseas
If you can help us with further photos of the War Graves of men of the Yorkshire Regiment, then please let us know. We will be pleased to show the photographs on this website, with full acknowledgement.
