Lest we forget #BarnsleyRemembers

[Experience Barnsley Museum @EBMuseum]

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

A new war memorial has been discovered in storage at Darton Liberal Club. The Roll of Honour measures about 4ft x 5ft and lists the members of Darton's WMC who served in WW1.

We've made some updates to the cemetery site recently. Have you seen them? We've added a page with all of our soldiers, buried or remembered that can be found under the 'History' tab. We're also always adding to the Tree Trail that can only be accessed with a special password!

Happy #ValentinesDay from a @BarnsArchives collection of love letters:
James Swift kissed & circled the last letter he sent home "We shall soon have our long delayed honeymoon..." 3 days after sending the letter he died on the Somme having never met his son, James.

Happy #ValentinesDay Our latest exhibition tells the story of Reginald John Matthews and how #WWI had a positive impact on his life - the injuries he sustained helped him meet his future wife.

So many people asking how to help. I know Tony would love to get a flagpole. He has bought 3 US flags recently and they’ve all been stolen because he can’t get them high enough.
So, if you want to help... come on twitter... do your thing #GetTonyAFlagpole
Let me know 🇺🇸👍🏻

Just met an amazing man in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield. Tony Foulds was an 8-yr-old playing in the park when a US plane crashed in Feb 1944. He has diligently maintained the memorial ever since. He was planting new flowers. Almost 75 yrs of service. What a man. I’m in bits 😢👏🏻
