We Will Remember Them

We have 31 soldiers buried in Wombwell Cemetery and 97 soldiers buried elsewhere that are remembered on family graves. Our Barnsley Pals memorial now has steel poppies at either side as a tribute to all of our soldiers. A Remembrance Service is held on Remembrance Day which school pupils attend.

​

Below is a list of soldiers we remember.
