Narberth Museum is planning a season of events to commemorate the centenary of the ending of WWI.

The season begins on Saturday, November 10 with a free open day.

Visitors will have the opportunity to see an exhibition of Narberth’s involvement in the conflict and view an updated archive of local soldiers’ experiences. Sandra, a museum volunteer, will be on hand to share and discuss her extensive research, with particular emphasis on individual accounts and research techniques.

With access to letters, photographs and first-hand witness accounts of historic events, it promises to be a poignant reminder of the lessons to be learned from the lives lost and the voices of those who survived.

Refreshments will also be availble throughout the day.

On November 21, local historian David Llewellyn will be giving a talk on The First World War: Challenging Popular Perceptions.

David explains “As a nation and society we often view the war through the prism of art, literature, television, film etc. In this talk I will look at it through the prism of history and the results may be surprising.”

The talk starts at 7.30. Tickets are £5 and refreshments will be available.
