This year marks the one hundredth anniversary of the first world war battle of Passchendaele (The Third Battle of Ypres). The battles took place between the end of July and the middle of November, and during that period this year, the parish church of St John the Baptist will be putting on a tribute to the eight men of Tideswell parish who lost their lives during the conflict.
If anyone in the village has family records or photographs appertaining to this period, and would be willing to lend them to us for display could they contact Alan Thornton (872301) or Paul Black (871482.)
Any proceeds from the display will go to the British Legion.
