Wed 29History Talk - Roll of Honour of Norfolk Women
Time: 13:00

by Daryl Long
The Roll of Honour of Norfolk Women commemorates 25 women we know of so far who died in uniformed service in World War One. It was created in 2018 originating from the Forum Trust's Somme to Armistice project. For some of those remembered, their connection to Norfolk is not apparent while for others, Norfolk born and bred, their names have, until now, only been remembered by their families.
