Newcastle Borough Museum need your help to remember!

Monday, 17th March 2014

Were members of your family involved in the First World War at home or abroad? Were they working in Newcastle-under-Lyme or the Borough during the war? Do you have any objects, letter, photographs, cards or family anecdotes from 1914-18?

The staff at the Borough Museum and Art Gallery are collecting information about the involvement and experiences of Newcastle residents during the Great War. They are looking for information about people who fought on the front line and also they want to find out more about what was happening in the town. Did you have a member of the family who worked at Enderley Mills making uniforms for the army or who was a miner? Was your grandmother a nurse at the infirmary?

The service hopes to gather information over the Centenary years to create a fuller community archive of the Borough between 1914-18 as a lasting legacy of the war. The information will also be used during the Centenary years as a basis for exhibitions and events. Make sure your family history is included!

If you have any family records you would like to share with the museum please get in touch with us on 01782 619705 or [email protected]
