A Marsh is remembered on the.Darfield Cenotaph Welfare Park  and on the Middlewood Shrine Doncaster Rd Barnsley and on the Darfield, All Saints Church WW1 Memorial Tablet,

Abel Marsh is buried in this grave site therefore the stone is NOT a war memorial to him (but it is to his brother and brother in law) and is NOT remembered on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website, probably because it was disputed whether his wounds had led to his death or not.  The family thought they did. 

It is difficult to say which A Marsh is remembered on the various Darfield Memorials, but as only one is mentioned it might be expected to be Arthur rather than Abel.
