In 2005, Chris Bonnett started research into the Bridlington men who lost their lives in The Great War. In late 2010, he and Mike Wilson co-operated in bringing the work to those interested.

The launch of the book will be in the Bridlington Central Library on Friday, 1st July, 2011, ninety-five years since the Battle of the Somme, in which local men fought and died, two of whom are on the Cenotaph.

The book allows one page per man - 334 - and includes photographs of the soldier/sailor/airmen where available, his name as engraved on memorials or his headstone, and other photographs and information about the Great War in general. If you have material concerning any of these men from the war, please inform us so we can make arrangements for it to be included in any subsequent editions.

The cost of the 364-page A5 book is £11.99. Cost of postage is £4.00, as the book is very heavy.

Mike's grandfather is named on the Cenotaph. An account of his very short war is here.
