On Saturday, May 16, visitors to Narberth Museum will have a last chance to see the exhibition 'Letters from the Front' which examines letters written by local soldiers, their diaries, uniforms, photographs and souvenirs of war.

The exhibition also features folders of information on nearly 300 individual combatants from Narberth and the surrounding districts whose stories have been researched and collated by museum volunteers.

A recent addition to the exhibition is one of the Tower poppies that formed part of the installation, 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red.' This was generously donated by Dawn Garland, of Llangwm.

Also showing throughout that day will be a DVD of the making of 'The Pals Battalion,' a collaboration with Narberth Youth Theatre that dramatised some of the letters and set them against extracts from 'Pink Mist,' Owen Sheers's evocative, contemporary account of young soldiers returning from Afghanistan. This acclaimed performance moved audiences to tears when it was recently performed at the museum. The entire project was made possible by the Heritage Lottery Fund's 'First World War Then and Now' grant programme

Admission to the exhibition and the film is free, but normal museum entry charges apply. Opening times are 10 am - 5 pm.
