Thanks for all of these responses

I have been luck enough to become custodian of Harold Hirsts WW1 campaign medals and return them to the town of his birth.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Rotherham Great War casualties
« on: Thursday 18 December 25 11:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

Does anyone know if there's a roll of honour for Rotherham great war casualties or photos on line?

Looking for any information on 201910 Pte James Sloan of 1/4th West Riding Regiment KIA 3/9/16

Aware his brother Thomas was KIA 1/7/16 with 9th York and Lancaster - wondered if a double tragedy would be in local papers ?

I have all the census info back to his and family origins in Whitehaven/Cumbria - Thank You

Hello
Harold Hirst married Mary Emma Hutchinson at Whitechapel church Cleckheaton in March 1917

Harold was Killed in action a few months later July 1917 (260053 1/6th West Yorkshire Regiment)

Marys father on marriage cert is Tom Hutchinson and it has her living in Hartshead

I cant trace her before or after the death of Harold - there maybe something on Fold 3 Military pensions but I don't have access

Can anyone find her post 1917 ? thanks

If you can get a picture of the stampings by the hilt it would help but AndyJ looks spot on - British Home Guard ww2 used them too.

World War One / 3/9126 Pte William Waddington West Ridings Regiment
« on: Saturday 30 August 25 12:02 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I am after some help identifying William

He was KIA 14th November 1914 with 2nd Dukes near Veldhoek Chateau

SDGW gives born Shaw and enlisted Oldham - he was a pre war reservist

I cannot find anyone on the census matching  born Nov 1888 and son born 1906

Also Fold 3 has a pension record (i don't have access) but it lists him possibly as Thomas Morris
Wife was Mary Ellen and son Thomas Waddington

Soldiers Effects state Alias Morris

If anyone can add more to this id appreciate it (I cannot read the Fold 3 Red writing) on the Effects does it say Mary E Smith as widow ?

Thanks

Ady
