Hi everyone,
The exhibition at the Bushey Academy last August too commerate the start of WW1 has now been put into a book. If you would like to purchase a copy it is available from Bushey Museum that is open Thursday - Sunday, 11-4pm for £11.95 or it can be ordered via the museum`s web site for £15.95(including postage and packing).
This book by Dianne Payne, Coordinator of the Bushey First World War Commemoration Project, is about the men and women of Bushey & Oxhey who served abroad and on the Home Front during The Great War. It includes the 50 panels from the exhibition held at The Bushey Academy in August 2014, a selection of biographies of local servicemen who gave their lives for their country and chapters reflecting on the years before and after the war. With 100 pages and fully illustrated in colour and monochrome, it provides both a souvenir of the exhibition and a colourful and poignant record of the social history of Bushey and Oxhey during the period.
An excellent read as well as a good piece of social history. The autobiographies of the 370 soldiers that names are on the War Memorials in Bushey and Oxhey will be put online later this year on the Bushey during the great war web site.
This book would make a lovely Christmas present, please consider visiting the museum and see what else we have available in our shop.
Regards,
Jackie.
