Thanks to enormous help from eighteen villages and Marlborough College, we managed to complete our project by October 2018 which was in time for many special local commemorations on 11th November.
During the project, we located memorial halls, church plaques, stone crosses, two lychgates and a clock! And we even had sent contemporary photographs of the scenes at the dedication services. The latter are to be found faithfully recorded in local newspapers, and we have uploaded a few. We are happy to include any further research that may be done, please get do in touch for more information.
