In the First World War over 65000 men served in the Yorkshire
Regiment (Alexandra the Princess of Wales' Own Yorkshire Regiment).
In 1921 the regiment became the Green Howards..
Of these 65000 men, over 9300 lost their lives.
This website records the memorials to, and the graves, of these men.
. A search facility allows you
to find this information for a particular name.
Also shown are photos of some of these men, together with biographical information.
If you have any queries about the data on this website, or you would like to send us some information (records of individuals or memorials, or photos ) then please contact
Edward Nicholl,

Submitting Material to the Website
I will be absolutely delighted to receive any photographs (of men of the Yorkshire Regiment, War Memorials, War Graves etc.). However, I would be very grateful if you could follow the guidelines below when submitting material.
| Text | Please submit any text in the form of MS Word (*.DOC), Rich Text Format (*.RTF), or TEXT (*.TXT) files. |
| Images | Please submit any images as *.JPG files. Ideally, image files should be 800 x 600 x 72 dpi (minimum) Larger file sizes are absolutely fine, and I prefer larger files in case any images need retouching. |
| File attachments | If your file sizes are much greater than, say, 5 Mb then
I would appreciate that you let me know BEFOREHAND that you are
intending to send them as attachments. Even in this day and age of broadband access, some e-mail providers restrict the maximum file size allowed in an in-box! If you have a large number of attachments, there is an excellent website WeTransfer.com which allows files of up to 2Gb to be sent for no charge. |
I will credit all submissions to the authors who provide the photos, text etc. The copyright of all photos submitted to the website remains with the original author.
