#LestWeForget In 2012, #NationalMuseumsLiverpool

#LestWeForget In 2012, #NationalMuseumsLiverpool began a project to connect with local families from Liverpool’s diverse communities to research their First World War family history. Working in partnership with historian Dr Ray Costello, the team were able to unearth the records and activities of their parents, grandparents and
great grandparents.

The result of the research was the 2014 exhibition Untold Stories: Black Families in the First World War – a mix of military and civilian histories about local people. (There is an accompanying book by Dr Costello, Black Tommies)

Bringing to life these stories of military personnel, putting faces, names and stories to the hidden lives of those who were involved in conflict - this exhibition, resources and links for further information can all be found in our educational pack available on the Service of Remembrance website (link can be found in our bio). Marcus Bailey (featured) is just one of these heroes who is remembered.
