Simply scroll into Ushaw Moor. I have had a look for you and did spot two Turner's as follows: Pte M Turner CGM. You will very probably be aware that those initials stand for Conspicuous Gallantry Medal. A Pte A Turner is the second one. Just check that those found are for WW1 rather than WW2.

I'm wondering if you or your correspondent Jeny Cochrane (or anyone else for that matter) can direct me toward William Percy Cochrane b. 1860ish. He married Helen Lavinia Shaw of Bath, whom I am researching. What I have so far is wonderful, but there is so much more - Rhodesian gold, Sth African diamonds, spying for the Admiralty, military hospitals, benevolence on a huge scale.

Sadly this no longer there. I can recollect Ushaw Moor playing there many moons ago. I am sure West Stanley had a team that played in the Greyhound Stadium in East Stanley.
