The Title Screen of the Kingston Upon Hull War Memorial website

The Kingston Upon Hull war Memorial website is an extremely comprehensive website dedicated to the 7,500 men from Hull, who died in the First World War.

The website includes not only the names of these men, but also
a. Biographical information
b. Photographs of the man commemorated (where available), and
c. Information on the local memorials on wich they are commemorated.

There is a compehensive search function provided, to help you look for a name (with its associated data). However, this search function sometimes returns a very large number of results, - especialloy if the surname of the person being searched for is the same as, say, a Street name.

The information would appear to have been collected from local newspapers of the time, amongst other sources. Because of this some of the names commemorated, below, are to be found on memorials other than in Hull, - e.g. Beverley.

277 men who served in the Yorkshire Regiment are commemorated on this website. To find one of these names, select from the alphabetical index, below, first of all.
You should then check the Kingston Upon Hull War Memorial website for additional information that has been gathered by Paul Bishop, the website author.

On July 3rd they moved up to the front line just to the south east of the village of La Boiselle and on July 5th an attack was launched at 4-00 a.m. against the enemy position known as Horseshoe Trench.
Later in the morning a heavy German counter attack developed and Lt John Gibson was killed as the enemy launched a bombing attack on July 5th 1916 aged 23.
