🌹📕 This we pause to honour the sacrifice of so many lives for the peace we enjoy today.

We also pause to remember the late Margaret Stansfield, who spent several decades passionately and dedicatedly working on the 'Huddersfield's Roll of Honour 1914-1922'. Through her diligent work the names and lives and ultimate sacrifice of 3,429 service personnel from Huddersfield are made permanent. 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.

You can download and read this eBook via our website for free today and always as an open access title.
