Encouraging South Derbyshire to start projects to mark the anniversary of 1914

Submitted by Heather on 13 January 2012 - 2:05pm

I am strongly encouraging constituents to look at the Imperial War museum’s website http://www.1914.org to find out more about the Centenary Partnership Programme. 2014 will mark 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War and the Imperial War Museum, alongside the Heritage Lottery Fund is giving support to those that would like to start projects to make the centenary.

 
We all celebrate the bringing of peace in November 1918; however 2014 will mark a truly unique date in our history: a hundred years since the beginning of World War One. If anyone in the constituency has an idea as to how we can mark this occasion in South Derbyshire I would strongly recommend that they visit the Heritage Lottery Fund website on http://www.hlf.org.uk/HowToApply/whatwefund/FirstWorldWar/Pages/FirstWorldWar.aspx to find out more about funding.
 
It would be really good to show our respect for those that fought in the 1914-1918 war by marking its beginning in South Derbyshire.
