AN appeal has been launched to try to track down a vital part of Barnsley’s history before it is lost forever.
The Barnsley War Memorials project is urgently seeking information on the whereabouts of a war memorial which was formerly housed in the Barnsley Radical and Liberal Club on Market Street.
Project members are creating a Roll of Honour, which will feature all the individuals from the Barnsley area who fell during World War One.
In order to do that they are transcribing local war memorials and researching the men on them.
They have just discovered that a missing memorial, which had been commissioned by and installed within the Radical and Liberal Club in Barnsley, was sold at auction in 2005 and was bought by a local business man.
Anyone who can help should log on to www.barnsleywarmemorials.org.uk or call 246727.
