Lynsted with Kingsdown First World War Centenary Project

The Lynsted with Kingsdown Society ran a ten year project to record and commemorate the 37 men lost to the Parish of Lynsted with Kingsdown via: 1) Clergy Remembrances made during services on the centenary of each death; 2) the publication of a not-for-profit book containing their biographies; 3) web-publication of biographies to make them freely accessible through the Society website; 4) awareness-raising events, including exhibitions and film-showings; and presence at several parish events. We additionally undertook research into the lives of all casualties from the other villages in our ecclesiastical parish (Newnham, Doddington, Norton, Oare, Luddenham and Wychling) - 145 casualties in total. All endeavours were supported through subscription to the Society and funding via grants from Swale Borough Council.
