The Western Front 1918

In this centenary anniversary year of the last year of fighting on the Western Front, come and discover some stories of local losses in 1918.

Read about the backgrounds and the war experiences of some of the men remembered on Thornbury’s Parish War Memorial.

This display is in our upstairs front room.

Downstairs, we have a larger exhibition, telling the story of the Peace and the community coming together to commemorate local losses through war memorials – but also cruelly experiencing deaths among the local civilian population, as waves of the influenza pandemic struck Britain.
