About the exhibition

Almost 250 men were members of the Peterborough Branch of the Association, meeting regularly at local venues.

Explore the fascinating life stories of nine men from the Peterborough Branch, together with a full list of the known members. Could one of these men have been a relative or friend of your family? Come along and find out more!

The Exhibition is organised by members and friends of the Cambridgeshire Branch of the Western Front Association.

Supporting lectures

The Exhibition will also host two very special lectures, which will be held, at 11am, in the Howe Room at Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery.
