Kenilworth's war heroes remembered in new book Kenilworth's war years and heroes are remembered in a new book written by residents. Susan Tall of Laburnum Avenue and Betty Sunley of Barrow Road have spent five years working on Kenilworth And The Great War: A Tribute to the Fallen. It will be launched tomorrow (Saturday). It details every soldier killed during the First World War conflict and recaptures life in town during those years. Many relatives and town dignitaries will be present at the launch. Mrs Tall said: "The book starts in Kenilworth in 1910 and ends when the Abbey Fields war memorial was built in 1921. An index lists all the men who died and tells their stories." Many of the recent Weekly News nostalgia pictures have featured people who appear in the books, or who are related to them. Mrs Tall and Mrs Sunley are both members of the family history society and the book began there. Mrs Tall said: "It all started as a millennium project idea. We decided to have a look at the names on the War Memorial. It ended up being a lot of hard work - sitting in the library for hours looking at microfilm and newspapers." The launch is between 10am and noon at the Connection in Abbey End. MP Andy King, town Mayor Coun Pauline Edwards, members of the town's British Legion and relatives of men killed during the Great war will be there. 03 November 2004 |
