The Keighley News is our local weekly newspaper and we have collaborated together on a number of things since we first discussed the forthcoming centenary period.
We ran a weekly Great War column from January 2014 until November 1918, which featured a different individual each week from our archive and in total we featured 257 individuals. We supplied their stories which were written into a column for each issue by Staff members David Knights, Miran Rahman and Alistair Shand. During that period the Editor was Richard Parker and we are most grateful to them all for their expertise and their generous support.
Here is the list of those people who have been remembered in our column and also, in other features in the newspaper about people who served in the Second World War:
