A BOOK which commemorates the ‘Holgate Heroes’ who lost their lives in World War Two was presented to Mayor of Barnsley Mike Stowe on Monday.
Authors of The Holgate 100 - Ian Harley and Melvyn Lunn - attended Barnsley Town Hall to drop off copies to Coun Stowe and his wife, Elaine, which tells the story of Holgate Grammar School’s ex-pupils’ efforts in the war.
Coun Joe Hayward, Barnsley Council’s armed forces champion, said: “It’s a brilliant bit of work and it’s more than a book, it’s a reference to Barnsley’s past.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
