This page is dedicated to the men who
worked as postmen of in the post
offices in the Shipley area and who
served their country in WW1.
Within a week of war being declared
nine postal workers from Shipley had
been called up as reservists. Some of
those men sacrificed their lives.
The grey links below take you to more
details of the men featured. I am
grateful to Colin Coates for allowing
me to link to his Saltaire stories. Those
links are in blue
A purple border indicates the man lost
his life in the war.
If you have any information or photographs
of these men or other postal workers from
the district, please get in touch
