Welcome to Goldthorpe and the Great War [pinned post]

This blog's aim is to provide service details and a short biography of every individual from Goldthorpe, Highgate and Bolton on Dearne who died because of the First World War.

This blog is a work in progress, so information will continue to be added for the foreseeable future. Please check back regularly for updates You can click on any name in orange in the right hand margin to learn more about them

This blog has been created using my own independent research. I have used resources such as Ancestry, CWGC, The Barnsley Archives,  local newspapers, local cemeteries, online WW1 forums and Wikipedia to source all the required information. Any aspect that I have received aid with, I have given full credit that individual or organisation.

Thank you for visiting!
