Last week, I reported for Family Tree Magazine UK on this fascinating new exhibition in commemoration of WW1. See my article on the blog at www.familytree.co.uk.
Here is a taster of what there is to see:
 |
| Medals, service books, memorial plaques and printed entries from the Roll of Honour - many are the sources for tracing military ancestors from the First World War |
 |
| These personal effects belonging to Albert Tattersall, a soldier from Moston , Manchester include a penknife, a mirror, scissors, pipe, tobacco pouch and cigarettes. Albert died after being wounded on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, July 1916 |
