110 years ago on the 1st of July the battle which saw the largest loss of life in one day of British soldiers began.
We commemorate this event with re-enactors The Mountain Men who will display uniforms and equipment used by various armies from both sides of the conflict.
John Sadler’s Time Bandits will be here with a display of British weapons and equipment from the Great War. John and Bev are steeped in knowledge, and will give detailed accounts of the Durham Light Infantry’s involvement in the Somme. We will be showing the Time Bandits’ film telling the tale of the Hartlepool Bombardment for the first time at the museum (this film will be on a loop in our small screen room with is only accessible via stairs).
We will also be joined by Hawtin’s Historic Vignettes, who will be displaying artefacts and telling the story of Serjeant Joseph Hawtin, Gordon Highlanders. Serjeant Hawtin fought in the Ypres area in 1914 and 1915 (his account of one attack being published in a local newspaper), before moving to The Somme, where his was Killed in Action. He is listed amongst the 72,311 ‘Missing’ of The Somme battles. Incredibly, 93 years after his death, his family received one of his personal possessions recovered by archaeologists and featured in an episode of TVs ‘Time Team’ in 2008.
Many stories, much history.
