The Huddersfield and District Roll of Honour Project builds on the pioneering work of J. Margaret Stansfield, assisted by Ken Palmer and Philip Gledhill, who carried out over 30 years of research into the local men and women who served and died in (or as a result of) the First World War. Stansfield’s research was published in 2014 by the University of Huddersfield Press under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence.
The aim of this project is to build on Stansfield’s work in order to create:
- pages for service personnel and other individuals whose lives were touched by conflict, providing biographic details
- details of local war memorials, rolls of honour, etc
David Verguson has kindly allowed his detailed research into individuals linked to the Lindley area to be added to the site.
Many of the local history groups in the area conducted research into those who served in the First World War and we’d be more than happy to integrate their research into the site, particularly if it is currently only available within a commercial web site, such as Facebook.
What can you do to help?
If you’d like to help out, please get in touch! We need help:
- to ensure records are as accurate as possible
- carrying out further research into individuals currently listed
- identifying new individuals to be included
- locating and documenting local war memorials, rolls of honour, graves, etc
Much of the current content focuses on the First World War, but the scope of the project includes other conflicts and we’re particularly keen to add pages to honour those who served or died in the Second World War.
