Project Description

This remembrance activity involved the gathering of information relating to the forty men commemorated on the Westbury-on-Severn War Memorial. We focused particularly on their lives before they enlisted, their families, the experiences each individual had during the conflict and how and where they died. These biographies were distributed by way of free pamphlets issued with the local newsletter and parish magazine on the one hundredth anniversary of each man's death. Our work was funded by the Parish Council.
