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.
