smiths565 Posted 9 May , 2006 Share Posted 9 May , 2006 Hello Everybody. Could somebody do me a SDGW lookup on the following men Hudson, Edwin. King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, Depot, Private 3/2577, 11-Oct 1918 Maltby, O. Durham Light Infantry 3rd Bn. Private 73563 , 19-Feb 1918 Middleton, Thomas Reginald. King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry 7th Bn. Private 29701, 03-Oct 1917 Richardson, J. York and Lancaster Regiment 1st Bn. Private 19505, 10-Sep 1915 Webb, S W. Royal Fusiliers, Private 877, 22-Jul 1915 They are all buried in the same graveyard and I think they will all be from Sheffield, because the cemetery wasn't used by the war hospitals in sheffield (although it may have been used by Hillsborough barracks). I'd like to know where they lived/enlisted and how they died if possible. Any information would be great. Thanks in advance Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted 10 May , 2006 Share Posted 10 May , 2006 And from CWGC: Cemetery: SHEFFIELD (CITY ROAD) CEMETERY Country: United Kingdom Locality: Yorkshire Historical Information: During the First World War there were two substantial war hospitals in Sheffield, the Wharncliffe, in the Wadsley Asylum, and the 3rd Northern General, housed in 15 separate buildings. The city, a centre for war industry during the Second World War, suffered heavy enemy air-raids during the Blitz with 600 people killed in a single raid in December 1940. The First World War graves in Sheffield (City Road) Cemetery are scattered and a screen wall in Section Q (near the main entrance) bears the names of a number of casualties buried in graves that could not be marked with headstones. There is a small plot of Second World War graves in Section H and the rest are scattered. The plot also contains a number of special memorials headstones to casualties buried elsewhere in the cemetery in graves that could not be marked individually and a screen wall commemorates casualties buried in Sheffield General Cemetery and Sheffield (St Philip)(Wardsend) Church Cemetery whose graves could no longer be maintained. In all, SHEFFIELD (CITY ROAD) CEMETERY contains 220 burials and commemorations of the First World War and 147 from the Second. There are also five non-war service burials and nine war graves of other nationalities. On the western boundary of the war graves plot there is a memorial commemorating 30 servicemen whose remains were cremated at SHEFFIELD CREMATORIUM. No. of Identified Casualties: 381 Cheers, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiths565 Posted 10 May , 2006 Author Share Posted 10 May , 2006 Mick / Tim thanks for the look ups - the extra information is great as for Mr. Webb - there's always one man that refuses to give up his identity. Thanks again Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
