Unveiling the Hidden Histories of Bridgnorth in the Great War

As the centenary of the First World War approaches, it is important to remember the sacrifices made by our ancestors. The war had a profound impact on every town and city in the United Kingdom, and Bridgnorth was no exception.

A new book, Bridgnorth In The Great War, tells the story of the town's involvement in the conflict. The book is based on extensive research, including interviews with local people and the study of original documents.

The book tells the stories of the men from Bridgnorth who fought and died in the war. It also examines the impact of the war on the town's economy and social life.

One of the most poignant stories in the book is that of John Hemming, a young man who was killed in action at the Battle of the Somme. Hemming was a member of the Bridgnorth Territorials, and his death was a great loss to the town.

Hemming's story is just one of many that are told in Bridgnorth In The Great War. The book is a valuable addition to the history of the town and a fitting tribute to those who served and sacrificed during the First World War.

The book is available to Free Download from the following outlets:
