However, it was always likely that we would find that some names had been missed off this list and the project had not been going long before people started to mention the name Thomas Fielding Whitaker.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the project has completed the bulk of its work, it has been possible to research TF Whitaker and, in doing so, we have found that there were three men from the family, all of whom were involved in the war, one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>This article was updated in December 2025, to include details of the Kildwick school WW1 memorial.<\/p>\n<p><a

Soldier&#8217;s diary<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Amongst the material made available to the Farnhill WW1 Volunteers project is a 1918 Soldiers\u2019 Diary belonging to Private Harry Hargreaves, of 1\/5 battalion West Riding Regiment.<\/p>\n<p>The diary measures about 7 x 11cm \u2013 small enough to fit into the pocket of a military uniform; the cover is made of card and the inside pages of very thin paper.\u00a0 The entries were written in pencil, in Harry\u2019s own small (and sometimes, after 100 years, difficult to read) handwriting.\u00a0 All are very concise and include an almost day-by-day account of the weather \u2013 even in the days immediately after he had been wounded.\u00a0 It is entirely fitting that the final entry in the diary should be a comment on the weather.<\/p>\n<p>The entries run from January 1<sup>st<\/sup> to October 23<sup>rd<\/sup> 1918 and record the final months of Harry Hargreaves\u2019 service in France, which began in June 1916.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/WW1 articles\/Article - Harry Hargreaves 1918 diary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more &#8211;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span
