Wessington U3A War Memorials Group (in Washington) has fairly extensive details of the WW1 men on Usworth, Washington Village and Harraton memorials.
There are files of their information about the Harraton men in libraries at Shiney Row, Washington, Washington Village, Sunderland, Newcastle, Gateshead, Birtley and Durham Record Office and Tyne Wear Archives Blandford Street.
The group have lots of photos and are happy to supply to anyone who wants them – they didn’t include photos because of the cost of printing.
They are starting to collect about WW2 men as well – harder to research.
There are also files of info about life and events in Harraton Parish during WW1 in the same places.
