Welcome to Heroes Past and Present
To commemorate 90 years since the formation of Royal British Legion, we are looking for people who have served in any of the conflicts listed opposite to tell their story.
We are looking to create a reference book for secondary schools and create a web site that will enable your story to be told for posterity. Have you served or do you know somebody who has?
We would like to interview those who have served, on video, audio or take written accounts, enabling you to tell your story. We are looking to record the accounts of anybody who has served their country and how the affects of conflict have influenced your life.
We have set up a questionnaire for people who are willing to tell their story. Please click here and complete the questionnaire providing a much detail and information that you can.
Contributors
If you have served in any conflict with the British Armed forces since World War II we would like to speak to you. We have trained volunteers willing to visit you and interview you on video or audio for our book and website. We would like to interview both men and women who have served in conflict. Our interviews normally last about 1 hour.
Project Aims
We are producing a book that will be available FREE to all secondary schools in the Greater Manchester Area. If you would like to know more information or purchase the book please contact us. All the audio and video files we collate will be stored at the Imperial War Museum in London for others to use.
Conflicts
We are looking to cover all the conflicts in which British personnel have served since World War II. This is due to the lack of awareness with the current National Curriculum with Secondary Education and we feel that these are just as important to catalog and capture peoples stories before the survivors of the earlier conflicts are no longer with us.
