Sampford Peverell in wartime
The aim of this project is to find out as much as possible about Sampford Peverell during the First World War. We hope to find information about all the residents who participated in the war, how it affected those left behind, and life in the village at that time. This is being done in conjunction with the Royal British Legion and the Devon Remembers project, and with the help of a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
Later we will do similar research into the Second World War.
Some items which we have found on paid-for websites will have to be password protected, but most of it will be free to view.
