| | Wed 21 | History Talk - Battlefield wills from the First World War
Time: 13:00 - 14:00
by Daryl Long
More than 15,000 Norfolk men died in the First World War. What happened to their estate after their death? A soldier's pay book allowed last wishes and bequests to be recorded and, for some, just the name of next of kin was sufficient to ensure any valuables and a soldier's pay could find its way home. However, of those 15,000, just over 200 made wills that were proved in the Norwich Probate Court and these records are held at the Norfolk Record Office. Ongoing research explores the story behind these wills. Who were these men? What is their back story and what was the impact on those they left behind?
