Artefacts from WW1 – A Talk by Gary Alderton

Artefacts from WW1 – A Talk by Gary Alderton

Join Gary Alderton as he takes you on a fascinating journey through his personal collection of First World War artefacts, gathered over an incredible 55 years of collecting. Discover the stories behind the ordinary, everyday objects of WW1 – from photographs, postcards and charity flags to local war memorials in Harleston and Diss. Gary will share the remarkable stories of the war and the local people whose lives were shaped by it, bringing history to life through the objects that have survived. A fascinating talk for anyone interested in local history, family history and the human stories behind the First World War. Profits from this event will be split equally between Alzheimer’s Research UK and Wingfield Barns.
