That's great! Thanks.

 

A mixture of sadness and anger from me. Inept leaders sending men to early graves.

 

I was looking for Woods (dads side) but realised he is from Lincolnshire. Going to sent this on to my brother for him to check out the Jenkinson's and Grays.

Would be interesting to know how many Sheffield men in the armed forces died in both the wars, but I cant find anything that breaks it down.

 

it may sound silly but how do you define Sheffield men, born in the city , lived in the , lived in the city but emigrated ( there were over 1000 men from Sheffield served with the Canadian Forces ) -Parents from Sheffield that moved also what about people in transit who lived and worked in the City and then moved on . There is no definitive list

 

I helped with the research for Hathersage -on their War Memorial there are 24 names , we found another 60 + names connected to the village

Good point.

 

I guess my question was 'ill thought out' and as you state, a lot more complex.

 

Cheers.
