Researched, transcribed and photographed by BarnsleyHistorian and Nigel Croft 


The memorial had lost its urn before our first photograph in 2009, and between then and 2013 the shrubs around it had grown so large that it was almost impossible to get pictures of the inscriptions on the sides of the pillar.  In July 2014 work has obviously been carried out, first the panels on the pillar appeared cleaner and the undergrowth had been cut back and then one evening an Urn appeared!  We pulled the car to a rapid stop and leapt out to photograph the new arrival.  Great news. Thank you to whoever is responsible.
