Heroes of Chiswick - Research Exhibits
This section contains the material produced for display, firstly at the launch of the exhibition of work on Saturday 14th June 2014, and thereafter at schools, libraries and other public places.
In this section you can find information on the Commemorative booklet, the vertical display panels and exhibits from some of our research sources.
The content of the Commemorative Booklet has been updated to include short narratives on 3 of the commemorated men about whom we had insufficient information at the time of going to press. You can view images from the 2014 booklet and the updated narrative HERE
A video of the Exhibition, filmed on the day of the launch at the Church can be seen below.
The Exhibition, launched at St Michael's Church on Saturday 14th June reflected the research into the 33 men listed on the memorial column inside the Church. The main exhibits were 6 panels telling aspects of those men's lives during the Great War.
