Every village in Doncaster, together with the town itself, played their part by erecting memorials to the fallen. Doncastrians wanted to remember their brave boys for eternity and for their children and grandchildren to remember them too, as they still do every year. As the year of the war’s end passed they looked to 1919 for new life, new hope, and new opportunity and were provided with just that as a brighter and better town emerged from the horrors of the war years.
