Town's history in Great War to be recorded


16/ 8/2008

HISTORY tells us that the great guns of war finally fell silent on the 11th day of the 11th month in the year 1918, thus bringing to an end the bloodiest war in the history of the world.

Now, 90 years after the First World War ended, a group of enthusiastic amateur historians, is embarking on an exciting project which members hope will record the part that thousands of Rochdale men played in the ‘War to end all wars’ – a conflict that cost the lives of more than 20 million people, both military and civilian.

   What a great thing you are doing. We who do family research will find it helpful as many of our family members died in that war. I have managed to get some information but still a few family members missing that would have been ages 18-22. I feel like I would find them either in the missing or dead.
