The Ypres Menin Gate Memorial
Photo : Edward Nicholl
The Menin Gate is one of four memorials to the missing in Belgian
Flanders which cover the area known as the Ypres Salient.
The battles of the Ypres Salient claimed many lives on both sides and it quickly
became clear that the commemoration of members of the Commonwealth forces
with no known grave would have to be divided between several different sites.
The site of the Menin Gate was chosen because of the hundreds of thousands
of men who passed through it on their way to the battlefields. It commemorates
those of all Commonwealth nations (except New Zealand) who died in the Salient,
in the case of United Kingdom casualties before 16 August 1917.
Of the 54,325 names on the memorial, 475 are for men serving in the Yorkshire
Regiment.
Photographs of the name panels which commemorate the Yorkshire Regiment soldiers can be viewed by selecting the link below. This will open a page in a new window.

The names of the men serving in the Yorkshire Regiment found
on the Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial are listed below. The majority of the names
are inscribed on Panel 33, but those identified with "Addenda" are
to be found on one of the Addenda Panels.
Soldiers who originally served in the Yorkshire Regiment, but were serving
in another regiment when they lost their lives, are shown in parenthesis,
below. e.g. Private Austerfield, J H. The panels on which they are
commemorated will be shown on the details (below) for that soldier's name.
For further details on each name, select the initial letter on the left to
be taken to another page which contains data on men whose surname starts with
that letter.

(++) J E Ryder is listed in the CWGC Register as being on the
Memorial on an Addenda panel, though his name does not appear to actually
be ON the Memorial.
(1) Private A E Neate is shown on the panel, incorrectly, as "Private
A E Neste".
(2) Lieutenant R B Woosnam appears to be listed on the Ypres (Menin Gate)
Memorial in error. He served with the Worcestershire Regiment, and was killed
at Gallipoli, - and is commemorated on the Helles Memorial (Addenda)
(3) Although "F Tyerman" is actually shown on the Memorial, he is
no longer listed in the CWGC Register. This was probably Private F Tyreman
who is buried in Maple Copse Cemetery.
(4) Lieutenant C G Weston's name originally appeared on the Memorial, but
he is buried in Divisional Cemetery. He is listed in the CWGC database in
Divisional Cemetery and no longer appears in the database for the Ypres (Menin
Gate) Memorial.
(5) Shown on the memorial as "deQuincey".
(6) Private Robinson, C, is an erroneous entry. This was a Private Robinson
Collin who is buried in the Perth Cemetery (China Wall).
