The records in this database are the accumulation of more than ten years work by historian Stephen Nicholson. Focusing on his home town of Darlington, Stephen has recorded the details of more than 1,200 soldiers who died in the war and who have some connection with the town.

The Northern Echo is continuing Stephen's work as part of its bid to digitise the newspapers from 1914 to 1918. We are currently going through the back copies of the Echo, and its sister paper, the Evening Despatch, which published thousands of stories and photographs about local men going to war. We are scanning those stories and photos and placing them on a second database to run alongside the Nicholson database.

You can research your relatives, or your area of interest, in either of the individual databases, or you can run a search through both using the Data Source menu below.
