Over the next four years we will be commemorating the involvement of Longford people in World War 1, in conjunction with Longford Library and others.
A Facebook site has been set up to encourage people to share their stories of relatives who took part in the war – https://www.facebook.com/longfordremembers
In the coming months Longford Library will be launching a website and database and an Exhibition to coincide with the anniversary of the outbreak of war in August 1914.
If any members have photographs or other memorabilia which might be included in the exhibition please get in touch with Hugh Farrell – hufarel@gmail.com tel: 3342104; Fr. Tom Murray teathbha@gmail.com tel. 3346465 or Martin Morris mmorris@longfordcoco.ie
