FLINTSHIRE WAR MEMORIALS

As well as national and international sites, it’s always worth seeing what exists locally. Many digital projects relating to village, town or county have come to light during the course of the First World War’s four centenary years. This particularly fine example is a community website, created and run by volunteer, amateur historians. It began as the hobby project of Eifion and Viv Williams, who researched the names on their village memorial. It is now a county-wide resource, full of fascinating stories behind those who are listed on memorials across historic Flintshire. Another excellent local example covers memorials in Derbyshire ( derbyshirewarmemorials.com).
