WILL YOU VOLUNTEER YOUR FAMILY STORIES FROM THE GREAT WAR?



Surrey History Centre is seeking oral history volunteers to be interviewed for its heritage project Surrey in the Great War: A County Remembers. Backed by a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, the main project  explores all aspects of the war’s impact on the county. 

The oral history component involves recording residents whose families experienced life in Surrey during World War One and are able to relay stories about it that they remember hearing when growing up from the 1920s onwards. Without this initiative, memories that  may offer unique and important historical insights or record human achievements, could well be forgotten or overlooked.

If you are interested in volunteering please telephone Stephen Simmons on 01483 518238 / 518239 or email  oralhistsgw@outlook.com with your contact details. A Surrey History Centre volunteer will soon be in touch.

More information on the project as a whole is available at https://www.surreyinthegreatwar.org.uk/
