Alan Campbell MP for Tynemouth Community Commitment Common Sense
It was an honour to attend the dedication of the wall of memorial at the Memorial Garden at the Linskill Centre organised by Tynemouth World War 1 Commemoration Project.
The Project has been set up by a group of local volunteers to commemorate the sacrifice of local men from the borough. More than 70 volunteers have conducted a large scale research exercise to find out as much as possible about the 1,700 local men who left to support the war effort.
Many of the families attended what was a moving event. Thank you Alan Fidler and Dan Jackson and all of the volunteers.
