Welcome to 'The Great War Remembered'; a project by Living Archive Milton Keynes.This website
showcases the Peoples’ History of the Great War, as witnessed and recorded by
people in the communities of modern Milton Keynes. There are stories of everyday
lives on the Home Front, as well as serving soldiers’ memories. Diaries, photographs, letters and documents were lovingly preserved by
their families and donated to this project.
With a grant from The Heritage Lottery Fund, Living Archive, Milton Keynes held events to encourage people to search their attics and bring more memories and stories to our project. A team of volunteers did further research and the resulting material forms this website, as well being used in the creation of a book and education resources for schools. We hope this website will inform younger generations as well as preserve and celebrate individual contributions to the war effort, however small. We hope to balance the national and propaganda views with the local, personal and emotional response. |
