During the Great War the town of Burnley (and its districts) suffered a disproportionate amount of casualties compared to many other towns and cities in Great Britain. The site aims to honour the men from Burnley who served in this terrible conflict and also to show the effect of the war on the town. It is also hoped to link to the research published by other members of the East Lancashire Medal and Militaria Society and also to use the site as a gateway to the Burnley Roll of Honour database.
Re-Issue of "Royal Edward" Book by Denis Otter and Andrew Mackay Towneley Hall Exhibition - Commencing 16th November 2008 Towneley Hall museum in Burnley is staging an exhibition in November called "90 Stories Revisited." The exhibition is a follow on from 2004 when 90 stories of local people from the Great War were shown. In 2004, this was done from the museum collections. This year, the museum is inviting people from outside the museum to contribute. If you have a descendant from Burnley (including women) who served at home or in a battle zone and think their story merits inclusion then please contact Mike Townend, Keeper of History, Towneley Hall Museum, Burnley BB113RQ (01282 424213) mtownend@burnley.gov.uk
