The Men of Worth Project have been busy creating a Remembrance Trail in Oakworth and the launch event will be at Oakworth Community Hall on the 30th of October. About 100 A3 boards will be installed by volunteers on lampposts around Oakworth on 28th October 2025 and they will be on display until the end of November.

The boards will be positioned near to the former homes of each man. People who read their brief stories on the boards can visit The Men of Worth Project website and/or use their phones to scan a QR Code on each board to go to the website to read their whole stories. We hope it will give people a sense of where these brave soldiers lived, before going off to war, never to return.

Andy Wade, project director states:

“One hundred A3 boards will be seen on lamp posts around Oakworth from
the end of October until the end of November. People who read their
brief stories on the boards can use their phones to scan the QR Code on
each board to go to the Men of Worth Project website where they can read
their whole stories. We hope it will give people a sense of where these
brave soldiers lived their lives before going off to war, never to return.”

Keighley Mayor, Councilor Chris Herd, responeded:
“Keighley Town Council is proud to support the Oakworth Remembrance
Trail, ensuring the bravery and sacrifice of our local service people

of Worth and the Army Cadets, honours their legacy and brings our
community together in respect and remembrance.”
