The Yorkshire Regiment Remembrance Website

Using the Website

The website contains the names of well over 9,300 soldiers of the Yorkshire Regiment.
Much of this information is in respect of the men who died during the war,
But there is information also on soldiers who served and survived.

As well as providing data on the memorials on which the soldiers are commemorated, and the cemeteries in which they are buried (with photographs of the commemorations and headstones), there is plenty of other information. This includes;-

1 Data on Officers as obtained from "Soldiers Died in the Great War".
2 The regiment's Officers, - biographical data on all Officers from work by Robert Coulson.
3 Officers and Men of the 2nd Battalion in October 1914 (The "Old Contemptibles"). A Roll of Honour.
4 The regiment's Victoria Cross Winners.
5 Yorkshire Regiment soldiers "Shot at Dawn."
6 Men of Skelton, Cleveland, who served in the Yorkshire Regiment.
7 Information on soldiers where no photographs of their commmeorations currently exist.

Where the named soldiers were killed or died of wounds in the First World War, we have tried to show photographs of the memorials on which they are commemorated or the graves in which they are buried.
These memorials or commemorations are shown against the soldier's name.
