Remembrance Project

Barnham Broom and Upper Yare Group of Parishes
The Remembrance Project 2018


Many men and women served and gave their lives in the two world wars so that future generations could live in freedom and peace. Within the parishes of our group, at least 150 names are carved on our war memorials and over time many of these people have been forgotten as their families have moved away. The Remembrance Project brought their memory back to life, in finding out more about each individual: their lives, families, friends and death, often in a foreign field. Volunteers worked to find out more about each person, and wrote a short story of their life. The stories are available as a book - 'The Fallen of the Great War' and a local map. There is also a map of all the villages from whence the fallen came. The books and maps are available on sale in each of our churches for £3 or from our Church Office. Contact the Office if you would like a copy. 

The pictures below show just a few of the local men who went off to fight, sometimes photographed with their loved ones before leaving, never to return.
