A Zeppelin Over Yarwell

Receiving our award  in  July at Sywell Aviation Museum.


 Apart from putting all our research into a book we also have to finish the website, which is the job for Mike.

A Zeppelin Over Yarwell

We have mostly finished working on the exhibition and were very pleased to have been award the top Heritage Community Award in July for the project.  However people are still bringing in information to us, all of which will be included in the book which we will be publishing in due course.

This lovely little box was posted out to Charles Simmons who served in the Northamptonshire Regiment. He was injured by shrapnel in France in 1916. He was transferred into the Army Labour Corps in 1917 and was discharged on April 8th 1919.

The photo below is of horses in  Yarwell which was reputedly posted to Charles while he was still in the army.
