A team of volunteers has researched the lives of the men and their stories give a fascinating insight into the War and how it affected one small suburban community. The exhibition includes maps, photographs, copies of contemporary documents and a wealth of interesting and accessible information. It also provides a model of how other local communities could carry out similar projects. For more information see
