Tadcaster War Memorials begins with a question, then identifies the record most able to answer it. Inscriptions, service papers, committee minutes, newspapers, maps and family accounts each carry a different kind of weight.
Facts are stated plainly, interpretations are signposted and uncertainty is kept visible. A proximity on a panel does not prove kinship. A newspaper report does not automatically prove an event. When a record cannot settle a point, the article says so.
Images are used to orient the reader, not to turn a generated scene into proof of a particular person or event. Document subjects are described as editorial illustrations, while claims remain tied to the written source notes and the record type named in the article.
