What did your Irish ancestors do in Stockport
during the First World War?
Who joined up? Who stayed at home? What did
the women do?
These are the kinds of things that Diverse
Narratives want to hear about for their project.
Were there any Canadians or Americans here?
I know some research has been done about
the military hospitals in the town. Do you want to share your research towards
the bigger picture of the First World War in Cheshire?
Posters and postcards will be in Stockport
Libraries by the end of March for you to share your memories.
Contact Jessica van Horssen at http://diversenarratives.com/ with
