Project title: 

 Craven's Part in the Great War 


Programme: Your Heritage 
Applicant: Craven Community Projects Group 
Grant awarded: £27,600 
 

In North Yorkshire, an out-of-print 1919 book commemorated every known soldier from the Craven district who fell in the First World War.

To help preserve the rare publication, with a grant from Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), volunteers digitised the original and published it on the Craven's part in the Great War website. Research by local people revealed over 1,000 more soldiers, whose names have now been added to the local roll of honour.
