Each of the names on those gravestones has a story connected to it\, a story of family and of tragedy\, a story of life on the battlefield and of love on the home front. Richard will be uncovering the lives of those who are buried in and around Milborne Port\, commemorating those who gave their all more than a century ago. \nRichard has had a love for photography for more than 20 years\, building a long-lasting blog and rescuing antique photographs and cartes de visite from junk shops. A keen amateur genealogist\, he has drawn his two passions together\, researching First World War graves in the churchyards and cemeteries across the south of England. When not traipsing around muddy graveyards\, Richard has a penchant for real ale and folk music. \n \n\nAll talks take place in Church House on Bathwell Lane\, starting at 7.30pm and last for approximately an hour. We ask for a suggested donation of £2 per member & £5 per non-member.
