Somme Project
« on: Friday 16 September 16 12:15 BST (UK) »
Hello everybody,

I'm collecting information about the lives of soldiers who survived the Battle of the Somme, in order to create a series of monologues that will be performed at an event marking the anniversary of the end of the campaign. 

If anyone is willing to speak to me about relatives who fought in the Somme I would love to hear from you!

Laura
