WW1 Commemoration

Back in September 2014, Luddenden Conservation Society launched a search for relatives of local men who died in or as a result of service in WW1. The community history project forms the Society’s commemoration of the centenary of the First World War in Luddenden & Midgley.

The WW1 Commemoration Project has commemorated each man on the 100th anniversary of his death and aims to publish, in print and on the website, all their stories. 

The  Project would like to hear from anyone who is a descendant of one of the 45 men who died in the First World War and who is commemorated on the Luddenden & Midgley war memorial or who knows someone who is.
