The Derbyshire Stokers
A project to research and share the stories of the men from Derbyshire's
mining villages who served as ship's stokers during the First World War
The Stories
Here you'll find links to the stories of individual stokers. Heritage Lottery Fund supported us to research the stories of 5 Derbyshire Stokers. The others have been researched and written by volunteers.
We are still adding to the stories so if you are interested in researching a stoker whose story has not yet been told please contact us via our contact us page.
