📖 BOOK LAUNCH – FROM PASTURES GREEN 🇬🇧

Folks, a fascinating new local history book, From Pastures Green: Mid-Tyrone in the Great War 1914–1918, by former Omagh High School history teacher Laura Kwasniewska, is being launched this Thursday, 3rd September.

The book is understood to be one of the most extensively researched works on the subject, with a particular focus on identifying and remembering as many of the men from Mid-Tyrone who served during the Great War as possible.

A wonderful opportunity to support local history and learn more about the men and families from our own area whose lives were shaped by the First World War.

📅 Thursday 3rd September
📍 Silverbirch Hotel, Omagh
⏰ 7.30pm

If you can, please come along and support what promises to be a very interesting and important addition to our local history. Lest we forget. 🌺
