Gazette & Herald: First World War centenary

Share your stories and pictures...

Throughout this year, we are hoping to hear from local families who have stories about relatives – fathers or grandfathers, uncles or great uncles – who fought in the First World War.

We also want to hear stories about life on the Home Front: about the women and mothers – maybe your mother or grandmother – who suffered at home while their menfolk were away, and who brought up children, fed families, and tried to maintain some semblance of ordinary life.

If you have a story you would like to share with us, or photographs of relatives who fought or died in the Great War, email gazette@gazetteherald.co.uk
