For many, the local War Memorial is a taken-for-granted landmark, but its significance and the lives and stories behind the names on it have become forgotten. While interest in these memorials may peak during major anniversaries or the release of new films, such as the recent 1917, it tends to wane over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers a unique and timeless insight into our knowledge of the men from Denby Dale, Upper \u0026amp; Lower Cumberworth, Birdsedge, Upper \u0026amp; Lower Denby, and Ingbirchworth. It delves into the lives of the soldiers' families, examining their civilian occupations, homes, and achievements. The book also includes their War service histories, where they fought, how they died, and where they are buried, where available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is not just the fallen who are commemorated in these pages, as the stories of many who returned from the arenas of the two World Wars are printed here for the very first time. With 130 illustrations and 30 family tree charts, this book pays tribute to all those who made the Ultimate Sacrifice and their comrades in arms who made it home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book aims to bring awareness to the sacrifices made by these soldiers and their families and to honor their memory for generations to come.
