Do you have memorabilia to contribute to Bruce Castle Museum's People’s War: Haringey 1914-1918 exhibition?

People’s War: Haringey 1914-1918

5 November 2014-29 March 2015

Marking the centenary of the beginning of the First World War.

If you have your own memorabilia and stories, please get in touch with Bruce Castle Museum and contribute to this exhibition. You may have a cherished photograph of a relative, a medal, or an identity card; you may have a typed-up story from the war period, including the peace celebrations in 1919. BCM should like to add the stories and items to this exhibition, alongside the objects and records from the historic collections at Bruce Castle Museum and Archives.

The war claimed the lives of over 16 million people across the globe and changed the world for everyone. Today we can still make connections to the tragic events of the First World War through our own family history, the heritage of our communities locally or in other countries. The war affected the families and friends of the residents of Haringey in different ways, from the home front to the front-line in this country and abroad.

If you have a story or objects and photographs to share, then please contact Bruce Castle Museum
