A Pop-Up version of an exhibition on the First World War is on tour around all libraries in the East Riding. “Cavalry, camels and Camaraderie”, looks at the East Riding Yeomanry’s role in the Egypt/Palestine campaigns in 1915-1918.
The mini display is touring venues including Howden, Bridlington, Withernsea and Hessle, finishing at Beverley library on Thursday, 23 October.
The display includes a selection of artefacts and folders of reproduction photographs and documents about the campaigns. The full exhibition can be seen now at the Treasure House in Beverley until Friday, 19 September 2014.
Said Dr. David Marchant, museums registrar with East Riding of Yorkshire Council:
“We are really grateful to our colleagues in Libraries for providing us with the opportunity to tour this display, which will hopefully bring new visitors into the Libraries and also help promote the main exhibition later in the year.”
“It is part of our mission to reach a wider audience than just those coming into our own museum sites and to build partnerships with other cultural services.”
Councillor Richard Burton, portfolio holder for civic wellbeing and culture, added:
“This is a great tour around the council’s libraries in our region, giving everyone a chance to visit a display nearest to them.”
I do encourage people to go along to one of the Pop-Up events to see yet another fascinating and informative display about World War One.”
The display has been funded with money from Arts Council England and is part of a wider programme of World War I related activities being put on by the Council and the Joining Up the Humber Museums Partnership.
