We have received the following from Matt Colley of the Cambridgeshire Western Front Association.

The exhibition and talks have been organised by members and friends of the Cambridgeshire Branch of The Western Front Association. Research about the men was inspired by seeing the Book of Remembrance of the Peterborough Branch of The Old Contemptibles’ Association in St Kyneburgha Church, Castor.

More details can be found on The Peterborough Museum website: https://peterboroughmuseum.org.uk/

There is also an article about the exhibition and talks in this month’s The Moment magazine, page 54: https://www.themomentmagazine.com/virtual-magazine/october-2025-issue-84/
