The Bradford Telegraph and Argus newspaper published a list in December 1914 of 144 soldiers and sailors that were connected either at the time of their enlistment or formerly with the troops of the Boy Scouts in the Bradford District.
It is particularly useful as it provides not only the regiment of the soldiers and sailors but also the Scout group to which they were affiliated and may open up new areas of research where Scouting records survive.
The list reproduced here is as transcribed from the article, the newspaper report itself may have errors.
