Excuse my ignorance, is the church old enough, lists were produced by individual churches after the war to commemorate their parishioners who had either fallen or served. I would be surprised if they did not produce some memorial. I suggest you enquire at Sheffield Archives they may be able to help. Other than that, if the church have no record of a memorial, then you will need to identify the parishoners of the time and research them to establish who served etc, not an impossible task but not an easy one. Sorry I can't be of much further help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
