My second online talk in the last few weeks. I wish there were more hybrid and online conferences - I found them so helpful during the pandemic.

If you are at the SHS conference this week, enjoy! 🙂 And look out for our PhD student Linda Hutton's paper on 'Using the 1921 census and First World War Pension Records to research Barnsley War Widows'!! 😀👇

Attended 'online' and successfully presented my first conference paper (as a PhD student, I have given many talks, presentations and papers in the past TBH).

A great paper on 'Examining Absence in First World War Commemoration' from PhD student Linda Hutton at the university's research conference! 👏👏👏

Last week I visited @BarnsArchives for research for the first time since the start of the pandemic. Their recently catalogued Nonconformist collection has yielded several #FWW war memorials new to me, and solved some of my 'Absent' men. Here is an example. barnsleywarmemorials.org.uk/…

Arrived this morning. Saw a recommendation recently and thought 'Why not?'. Glad I did as it's a complete change to hours of 'head in documents' research, putting the feelings and emotions back into what had become a bit routine. Thank you.

For a change, I researched two #FWW soldiers who came home. One of the members of my "Barnsley's History - The Great War" Facebook group posted a picture of an ID tag, and it went from there. barnsleysoldiersww1.blogspot…

#OnThisDay in 1838 the Huskar Pit disaster killed 26 children. Four years ago I supported the #Huskar180 project to mark the 180th anniversary. This is one of the events at the memorial in Nabs Wood, Silkstone Common.

Happy to discover that one of my 'Absent from Commemoration' #FWW soldiers IS actually named on a memorial in the #Barnsley area @WLV_DoctoralCol #wlvpgr The Roll of Honour was erected before he was killed & not updated. commemorationremembrance.blo…

I have been working on my research while the builders have been 'snagging' all day. It has been very productive! I think I found a new name for the Hoyland war memorial! barnsleywarmemorials.org.uk/…

Does having a day on the sofa catching up with a pile of history society journals and magazines count as PhD work? Already found some resources & the sense of achievement reducing the 'to read' pile is immense.

Downloaded 4 open access books from Beyond Commemoration: Community, Collaboration and Legacies of the First World War, voicesofwarandpeace.org and ordered another 'The Brave Remembered: Battle at War 1914-1919' from battlehistorysociety.com Thanks to @BALHNews for the articles.

If a war memorial with these names on it turns up in an antique shop or car boot sale please take a photo for me. I've just heard that the Chapel near Barnsley where I thought it had been relocated has been demolished. #FWW barnsleywarmemorials.org.uk/…

Just curious .... we are knocking these old tiles off our kitchen wall. What can you see in the pattern? I think the kitchen was last decorated in the 1970s.

A happy moment today when I found a Barnsley born man, who served in the Tank Corps #FWW, who is not remembered on a war memorial in Barnsley, is remembered in Sheffield. More details and some pictures on our Barnsley Facebook Group (public). #wlvpgr facebook.com/groups/42572035…

This - livesofthefirstworldwar.iwm.… (contributed by @HuttonCroft) - states he is not on @CWGC database as he was discharged through injury in 1917. As Linda states, the inscription would suggest that "his family certainly thought his wounds had contributed to his death"

The research for my PhD has enabled me to solve a long standing puzzle. Who was John Andrews on the Brampton Bierlow Parish Hall Roll of Honour? commemorationremembrance.blo… @WLV_DoctoralCol #wlvpgr @BarnsArchives @CliftonParkMus

Updated post. Andrew Riddiough Pickering died of wounds in 1918 #FWW. Not remembered on a memorial in Barnsley despite being born and living here. Was it because all his close family predeceased him? Or because his widow remarried within two years? barnsleysoldiersww1.blogspot…

Stepping back and making decisions about what to do and not do makes so much difference to my symptom levels AND my productivity!

A reminder for everyone living with #fatigue: Don't always give 100%. If you do, you will burn out. Stopping when you still have a bit of energy left isn't a failure - it's a massive achievement that will help you build a better tomorrow.
Book from stickmancommunications.co.uk…
ALT Small book 'Pocket book of pacing' held open. LHS title: Myth: If I don't give 100% I haven't tried hard enough and am giving in." Elite athletes only give 100% for special events (e.g. actual races) - after which they do less for a few weeks while they recover. In training, if they aim for 100% all the time they quickly get over-training injuries and performance worsens. This will happen to us too if we try to live at 100%... RHS has stickman looking tired but happy, labelled 'every day effort level'. Stickman collapsed in a little ball of exhausted misery 'special event effort level'.

Exciting! @bostonwayne, a member of the 'Barnsley’s History - The Great War' Facebook group, has found Barnsley-born man, Herbert Bethell on the war memorial in St Barnabas in Derby, exactly where I had hoped he'd be. See this blog post from last August. barnsleyhistorian.blogspot.c…
