| CAMBRAI - Guernseymen
and The Great War - An exhibition to commemorate the 90th Anniversary of the
Battle of Cambrai in the First World War during which 40% of men in the Royal
Guernsey Light Infantry were either killed, wounded or listed as missing. It
was the end of a generation and the huge losses shocked the island to its core.
The exhibition gives an overview of the Great War and focuses on the role of the
Royal Guernsey Light Infantry within the conflict. The Channel Islands Great
War Study Group has worked with the Museums Service in collating and supplying
information for the exhibition. |
