War Memorials Project

Help create a digital portrait of Remembrance across Leicestershire.

Leicestershire County Council is asking residents to send in photographs of events and parades for a new online gallery capturing Remembrance in 2011.

Pictures of memorials, local servicemen and women, wreaths, standards, veterans and cadets are also needed for the snapshot which be built up from 14th November.

This online exhibition will capture how Leicestershire remembers its fallen and add to the 2,000 records of war memorials already collected by the council.

Photos need to be jpgs or pngs, and under 4MB, and should be sent to: warmemorials@leics.gov.uk . Permission is needed for people who can be identified. They can also be posted to: Liz Blood, Room 400, Pen Lloyd Building, County Hall, Glenfield, LE3 8RA. To find out more, please call 0116 305 6187.
