AIM OF THE SITE.
The aim of this site is to provide a permanent record within a nine mile radius of Tadcaster, to those men who gave their lives in the two Great War's. Most of the names are recorded on local War memorials or on plaques in a local church, other names have been forgotten in the mist of time.
Tadcaster Memorial
Hopefully through this site those men will be remembered once more, instead of being just a name carved into stone or onto a brass plaque. After all how can you remember a person if you had no knowledge of who they were ?
All the men mentioned on this site had some type of connection to the towns and villages mentioned on this site. They were either born there enlisted there or lived and worked there.
St Marys Church Tadcaster
In many cases these men were from the same regiment and it can be presumed they all joined together as pals, and ultimately paid the highest price as pals, many lay side by side on foreign soil, gone but not forgotten.
Passchendaele, Gallipoli, Persia, India, Mons, Somme,Ypres, Alexandria all these areas and many more hold a little piece of Tadcaster and the local area.
It is hoped in time to have a photo of each man and their final resting place as well as details of how they lived, who their familys were and how they gave their lives.
Trips have been made to France and Belgium, where the men mentioned on this site were visited, many possibly for the first time since thay gave their lives.
