Radcliffe on Trent U3A First World War Group

Since 2013 a U3A and Heritage Lottery Funded project has been exploring the impact of the First World War on Radcliffe on Trent in Nottinghamshire. Researchers have identified nearly 400 servicemen connected to Radcliffe, written their biographies, and explored what happened locally, including the role of village women, opening of war hospitals, and creation of a memorial park in memory of an officer who died at Paschendaele. The paper addresses three questions: How do we discover what ordinary people did in the war? How do we present their stories? How was the war experienced by those who participated?

Admission is £5 and includes refreshments. Booking is not required.
