Thanks Dick

I am certain that Sgt Sykes was my GGrandfathers cousin and that Cpl. Bradley MAY have been his brother in law. You have made my day.

Many thanks again,

Andy

Interesting, as I see that Geoffrey Laughton appears from Leed Grammar School. Not my G. Laughton but the other G. Laughton in the 26th Northumberland Fusiliers (see page 209, last line, John Sheen's "Tyneside Irish"). Sadly, that G. (Geoffrey) did not make it, but our G. (George Van Wyck) of the N.F. 26th did make it through (thus I can write this message).

God bless them all,

Huddersfield Old Boys

Beadon, Cpt Basil Herbert E, R Welsh Fus

Owen, Lt Rowland Hely, Duke of Wellington's R

This tread was started before I joined. Captain Beadon lived about 100 yards from where I am sitting now, the “E” is for Edwards. Lieutenant Owen was in command of many local men who mention him in their letters home. Apparently during a charge on Hill 60 he fell dead on top of a badly wounded man, thus partially protecting the man who later surprised the doctors by first surviving and then recovering the use of his leg. Photographs do exist on microfilm at the library but the quality is terrible. I would love to see a clear image of both these men, if that is possible.

Tony.

Hi,

I would be grateful for anything on:

Harrogate Old Boys

Appleby, Lt Norman, 31 Can Infy

Leeds Rifles RFC

Fear, RSM W, 8 W Yorks

I did a lot of research on Norman Appleby some years ago, and I have visited RSM Fear's grave at Blighty Valley cemetery many times while walking the Somme.

Thanks in advance.

It`s interesting that officers predominate in almost all the clubs. One wonders how many officers would appear in a similar Rugby League Roll of Honour. Probably very few. The determination of the Rugby Union to resist professionalism, the difficulties of working men in playing rugby and the formation of the Rugby League are well described in:- http://www.rl1895.com/rugby-divide.htm Phil B

Hi,

I would very much appreciate if you could scan a picture of a relative of mine.

He is RSM William Henry Fear MC, listed in the Leeds Rifles RFC.

RSM Fear died a the Somme on 14th July 1916

The attached picture shows William Henry Fear on his wedding day - 15 February 1905. Together with his bride Alice (neé Walker).

Best regards,

Mark Ashwell

Thank you very much for the photographs of Beadon and Owen, they are a massive improvement on the very dark photgraphs in the Huddersfield Examiner. Thanks again,

Tony.

To all forum members: Because of the new policy on the uploading of photos to URLs, I will no longer be offering photos of fallen officers and men on this topic, but I can email them to you if you PM me your email address.
