Huddersfields Roll of Honour 1914-1922 is a detailed account of 3,439 service personnel from Huddersfield who lost their lives during the First World War. In the Preface, HRH The Duke of York KG writes: This publication represents the lifetime work of Margaret Stansfield who sadly passed away in 2012. Margaret spent 30 years compiling the 3,439 biographical entries giving a poignant insight into the background, working lives and families of those who selflessly left Huddersfield to fight for their country never to return. Along with the biographical accounts there are many moving letters to the families of soldiers who lost their lives reflecting an attempt to bring comfort amid the darkness that their loss brought to both families and comrades alike.

When war was declared in August 1914, it not only changed the lives of the soldiers who fought, but also the lives of their families, their neighbourhood and, ultimately, the whole of society. Women came out of their homes to take up work in industry, to drive the trams, to police the streets as well as nurse the wounded. Government, local and national, imposed extensive controls on all aspects of social life - who could remain in work, who had to fight, what could be grown as crops, what clothes were appropriate and how to feed a family. ??This study looks at how these changes affected Huddersfield and its inhabitants, showing how employment changed, how the town contributed to financing the war and how the local tribunals dealt with those who did not want to fight. Local families, from the highest to the lowest walks of life, find their stories illustrated here.

From Huddersfield to war-torn Holland, this is the true story of one English boy serving with the Black Watch during World War II. When he was only seventeen, James Watson signed up to serve the nation in the fight against Nazi invasion. Knowing the legacy of their bravery and honour, he expressed a desire to serve in the Black Watch Highland Regiment, and it would only be a few months later when he began his training and the road to war. Written from the perspective of a close comrade, the true-story of James ?Jim? Watson?s wartime exploits follow him from his first day of training to the very last battle he would ever fight. Poignantly and emotionally-written, it is a story that conveys the day-to-day suffering of young soldiers as they fought for the liberation of Europe and for the safety of their friends and family back home. Alongside the stalwart men of the 5th Black Watch, James Watson?s actions from his role in the storming of the beaches on D-Day to being amongst the first to cross the border into Germany in 1945 are recollected in vivid detail. Friends dead and innocence shattered, the true cost of war on the young souls forced into violence is powerfully preserved in this account of James? war. However the question still remains as to whether he will make it home at all. Written by James Watson?s nephew, A Teenager?s War is an inspiring but down-to-earth record of the lives of young soldiers and the war that defined their generation.

Huddersfield Drill Hall War Memorial 1914 to 1921 The Huddersfield Drill Hall War Memorial was designed in 1922 and unveiled and dedicated on 30th August, 1924. As part of major refurbishment of the War Memorial Boards in Huddersfield Drill Hall in 2018, it was noted that very little was known about those who were commemorated on the twelve panels, as only their names and initials had been fixed onto the panels. It was not even known exactly how many men were commemorated there. A project was begun to research each name and discover who they were, and, where possible, what happened to them. It was expected to take about six months and be ready for the unveiling and rededication in November, 2018. The amount of information that it is possible to access these days as well as the complexity of the anomalies held up the completion of the book until early 2020. One major anomaly that was discovered during the research was that an officer and fifteen men who could or should have been commemorated alongside the 1,241 names had been left off for a number of reasons. These men were included as an appendix in the book and the Trustees of the Drill Hall approved the commissioning of an extra panel to add these names to those of their comrades. This is to be unveiled and dedicated in the summer of 2020. It is hoped that the information that has been collected will help the families of the fallen to research their forbears. Lest We Forget.
