Weardale at War documents and preserves the memory of those from Weardale who served with the armed forces in major conflicts over the last two centuries.
The information is compiled from public sources and provided by the Weardale Museum’s “Weardale People” Family History Service, whose volunteers have amassed almost 70,000 Weardale people records, some dating from the 16th century.
