Collecting and sharing the Welsh experience of World War One
- February 14, 2013
- outreach, scanning, WW1 commemoration
Do you have letters, photographs, postcards or other memorabilia from those who experienced the war either at home or at the Front? We aim to capture the personal experiences of the Welsh involved in the War. The war affected everyone; those who fought, and those who stayed behind.
If you have items relating to any aspect of life during the war years, please bring them along to Galeri Caernarfon on the 5th of March to have them preserved and shared digitally.
For more information, read the press release on the National Library of Wales website
06/03/2012 have just come across the request. My great Uncle was Pte John Cadwaladr Owen of Pen y Bryn and Braich y Saint Criccieth. He was my grandfather’s youngest brother, who served 2 years and was killed in action as recorded from the local newspaper, article kept from that day in the family bible. I am enquring is there another day set to have another opportunity to supply more info to the archives?
We have a few more events across Wales which you may be able to attend.
12 March: Pontardawe Arts Centre
14 March: Brecon Library
18 March: Ruthin Library

We’re already digitising a large number of newspapers – a list can be found at http://cymruww1.llgc.org.uk/2012/08/30/newspapers/ so the press cutting may already be in the project. If not, we’d be grateful if you could make it to one of the other events.
