WW1 exhibition to take place in Chelmsley Wood

THE story of the local men who served in the First World War will be told in an exhibition coming to Chelmsley Wood next month.
The event will place particular emphasis on the infamous Battle of the Somme, ahead of its centenary this July.
The four-and-a-half month offensive was one of the bloodiest periods of the war, with more than 57,000 British soldiers killed on the first day alone.
Objects which were used in the battle will be on display and there is also an opportunity for visitors to find out about the role that their ancestors played in the conflict.
The exhibition will be held at Bosworth Community Centre on Saturday, June 4 (10am-4pm). For further details call 0121 770 8570.
