I have a considerable number of ladies buried/cremated in Yorkshire and would like photos of their graves and if possible any details and photos of the ladies and any known memorials they may be commemorated on. 12 of these ladies are WWI casualties but some share the same cemetery as their WW2 counterparts so I trust the Mods will not object to them. Unfortunately my only geographical knowledge of Yorkshire is from waaaay back in my army days at Catterick so I have recruited ‘Google’ to help me sort the cemetery locations into four lists, North, South, East & West Yorkshire, any errors blame Google. I will PM my email add if you can assist Tony Here is the list will edit out those that I receive. NORTH YORKSHIRE RANSOME, Irene – WAAF…………….Deax, SS Peter & Paul Churchyard..North East.

I see you have a couple of ATS at Harehills cem. As I have posted in this thread, I pass there regularly, so will get them next time I'm there. Also as part of me Leeds memorials project I have piccies of the Lawnswood screens you are needing I have a general shot of the screen posted here and I'm pretty sure I have some close ups on my hard drive, when I get time I'll dig em out for you.
