Just days after the nation recalled the 71st anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War, members of the history group of Our Lady and St Paulinus Church, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, launched the second edition of biographies of the men of the parish who lost their lives in the world wars.

Five years ago, the group published The Men of Our Lady and St Paulinus on Remembrance Sunday.

Speaking about the second publication, Fr Nicholas Hird, parish priest, said: “In 2005, we were very much working against the clock in order to meet a production deadline. During the last five years we have been able to build on the original work, which was always intended to be a working document.
