Hi guys,
went to Accy library on Bonfire night to listen to a presentation by Steve Williams from Chorley about life in the Great War Called " A Mothers Tears". To quote him...
"A few lines spotted in the ‘In Memoriam’ column of my local paper in June 1918 gave me the idea for this talk. I have put together some very poignant stories from my own research into WW1 over the years. As the title implies, they view the War through different eyes"

Very moving especially as my great cousin died in WW1 part of the local Burnley Pals......and I am currently researching my family history
