New Exhibition At : Lest We Forget

A new exhibition has opened at Museum : ‘Lest we Forget, Remembering Goole’s Servicemen and Women’ will run until Saturday, 11 November.

The exhibition has been created by members of The Goole First World War Research Group – their first full exhibition at Goole Museum to showcase their research so far.

Debbie Hardy, Goole Museum curator, said;

“The group has produced a very interesting exhibition about a subject many of us know very little about. It is fascinating to discover the contributions of heroism and sacrifice this small town made.

“Every Saturday throughout the exhibition, members of the group will be available at the museum for anyone to come along and ask questions, or hopefully provide more information to help the group with their ongoing research.”

The group formed in 2011, bringing together a group of local people interested in the legacy of the Great War. Members are Chris Laidler, Stephen Walker, Margaret Price and Mike Howard

Each member has an interest in how the war impacted upon Goole and how the town’s servicemen and women were commemorated.

The exhibition reveals individual stories of service and sacrifice and shows how Goole’s service men and women were remembered.

The exhibition showcases just a small amount of the information accumulated by the research group. They have a database of over 7000 entries, including the lists of men and women named on many of the memorials in this exhibition, alongside an extensive photograph and document collection.

The group are always looking to share the information they have collected and can be contacted on goole.ww1@gmail.com
