Where the trail began

Cumberworth is home to the original HD8 History Poppy Trail. It brings local remembrance and family history together, helping us look beyond the names to remember the people.

Online guide in preparation

More stories will be added here

Individual biographies, grave locations and visiting information are being prepared for this page. A route or complete list of stops is not yet available online.

Do you have information to add?

Family photographs, letters, service records and memories can all help. If you have a connection to someone remembered locally, we would love to hear from you. Please say whether we may share your story, photographs, both, or neither, and identify anything you want kept private.
