Lincolnshire Remembrance Newsletter Lincolnshire Remembrance: Memories and Memorials Newsletter May / June 2015 Project Update: We are still working really hard to get information edited and on to Lincs to the Past. Thank you to everyone who has contributed, and for all your diligent research. If you have been doing research and would like to add it to the database, please do get in touch soon, as our goal is to have all the information uploaded by November. Equally if you spot any mistakes please let us know as we want it to be a good reliable resource, but with such vast quantities of information there are bound to be errors! http://www.lincstothepast.com/home/lincolnshire-remembrance/ We will be doing some work in Boston this summer – on 20th June we will be at the Library collecting people's memories and family stories of the two world wars in the Boston area, this will then contribute to an exhibition at Black Sluice Lock centre on 31st July to 2nd August. If anyone has any stories or memorabilia, please do come and share with us. If you 1 Lincolnshire Remembrance: Memories and Memorials Newsletter May / June 2015 have any free time and would like to help with developing the exhibition please let me know. A date for your diary – Saturday 10th October 2015 We would like to invite you to join us at Thorpe Camp to celebrate the success of the project and to thank everyone for their contributions. We have decided to make the theme of the day First World War Aviation in Lincolnshire, and will be inviting some speakers to share their knowledge. There is also a chance to view the museum at Thorpe Camp and to join us for lunch. It will be a free event but booking will be required so that we have an idea of numbers for catering. Proposed Second Phase of Lincolnshire Remembrance Project: We have a strong data bank of information on the men and women who sacrificed their lives in the First World War but we do not have the same depth of information for those who died as a result of later conflicts because many of the official records are still closed. As more detailed information can only be gathered about Second World War and later conflict casualties from sharing by family members or fellow veterans we would like to have a focus on oral history as the method for this information gathering. Ideally we would like to encourage young people to be involved in the information gathering process. Memorial Walks and Cycle Rides The first phase of this project has been about gathering information and in this second phase we want to find ways of helping a broad range of people engage with their heritage and find out more about it. We had the idea of developing some memorial walks and cycle routes across the county. The routes would be enhanced by historical information in the leaflets regarding the memorials and stories of the people named on the memorials as well as highlighting other historic war related sites across Lincolnshire. There would also be information encouraging people to use Lincs to the Past to find out more. We are currently looking for funding for this second phase and hope that you will all be able to continue to support us with ideas and information.

Our experts will be on-hand to explain how to use our records to delve a little deeper. The archives’ documents include parish registers and census records, which can help uncover names and dates vital to establishing a family’s past. But it also includes records that can reveal long-lost stories and bring bygone personalities to life, such as criminal records, school and workhouse reports, war diaries and lists of deported convicts.” As well as explaining how to find and use these records, the Family History Fair will also include tours of the archives’ search room. The event takes place at the Lincolnshire Archives from 10:30am - 3:30pm. Entry is free. VC Holders honoured Two Lincoln war heroes will be remembered at a special event. On Thursday 4 June at 11am, a ceremony will take place at Lincoln Drill Hall to unveil two commemorative paving stones in honour of Lincoln men Leonard Keyworth and James Upton, who were both awarded the Victoria Cross during the First World War. 3 Lincolnshire Remembrance: Memories and Memorials Newsletter May / June 2015 At Lincoln Drill Hall there will be a small VC-related display in the café area, with a larger one-day exhibition opening at Lincolnshire Archives immediately after the ceremony. The exhibition runs at the archives from 12-4pm, and entry is free. Councillor Nick Worth, Executive Member for Culture and Heritage, said: “The stones are a way of honouring the bravery of these two men, providing a lasting legacy within the community. And the complementary exhibition will help residents gain a greater understanding of the part Lincolnshire played during the war. You’ll also have a chance to see many contemporary items from the First World War, including photographs, letters, war diaries and trench maps.” The council is eager to hear from any relatives of the two men. People can get in touch by emailing [email protected] . Civic Voice War Memorial Workshop It is estimated that there are 100,000 war memorials throughout the UK taking many different forms, such as obelisks, crosses, rolls of honour, lychgates, community buildings and playing fields. Throughout the centenary we would like to ensure that they are a fitting tribute to those who gave their lives in the First World War and subsequent conflicts. Over the next four years we will be helping volunteers throughout England to record the condition of their local war memorials and take steps to ensure they are conserved and protected for the future. Volunteer involvement in the project is vital. Civic Voice, in partnership with Historic England, Imperial War Museums and War Memorials Trust, is asking for volunteers to carry out condition surveys of their local war memorials. This will provide an overall picture of the condition of memorials throughout England and enable funding to be directed to those in need of conservation. Volunteers will also be encouraged to apply to have their local memorials listed, giving them protection for the future. A series of free workshops is being organised to provide volunteers with all the necessary training, and ongoing support will be provided by Civic Voice and the War Memorials Trust. Next Steps: A free workshop has been organised at the Drill Hall, Lincoln on Friday 24th July. It will provide volunteers with the opportunity to discuss the project and find out how to identify and record the condition of their local war memorials. From the workshop volunteers will gain: Background information about the project Training to undertake a condition survey. Training on how to record survey results on the War Memorials Online website The chance to ask questions A resource pack containing all the necessary information to get you started. People who are interested in getting involved in the project can reserve their place at the workshop by visiting https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/war-memorial-condition-survey-workshop-lincoln- tickets-16052688022 Best wishes Anna Wilson 4 Lincolnshire Remembrance: Memories and Memorials Newsletter May / June 2015 Exhibition at Grantham Library to mark VE Day To mark the 70th anniversary of VE Day, Grantham Library is hosting a small exhibition of work by local photographer Walter Lee until 6 June. Lee served as an ARP Warden during the Second World War, meticulously documenting daily life in the town in photographs and the written word. The first volume of his work, 1939-1941, was exhibited at Grantham Library and Museum in 1949. It proved to be so popular that the Imperial War Museum (IWM) urged Lee to complete the series. This took a further 15 years and the borough council commissioned two sets, one for the local library and the other for the IWM. The last time his work was exhibited was in 1966 to mark his 50 years in photography. Later in 1977, to mark the Queen’s Silver Jubilee, his war diaries became the focus of attention again when they were re-bound courtesy of local munitions firm BMARC. Walter Lee’s photographic work has been a great source of reference for many people and his war diaries are a unique resource for WW2 local research.

  • East Lindsey Aviation History Trail (South)
    East Lindsey Aviation History Trail (South) The trail begins at Boston and the route has been carefully planned so as to end there too. Route details between the different RAF bases. Section 1 Boston to RAF Coningsby From Boston, follow signs for the A17 towards Sleaford. At Hubberts Bridge Crossroads (next to a railway signal box, with markers indicating the distance to go) turn RIGHT and follow the sign posts for Coningsby. This road is the B1192, and you will need to follow it to New York - no joke, this one was here before the American one! At the crossroads in New York, just before the chapel on the left hand side, turn LEFT and follow the road along, round through the sharp right hand bend at Dogdyke, until you pass the RAF fuel dump on your left hand side. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight visitors' car park is on the LEFT. N.B. If you do not wish to visit the Flight but would rather spend a few minutes watching the more modern (and noisy) Typhoons, Harriers and Tornadoes, there are ample places to park up either in the spotter's car park on the Dogdyke road, in the car park for the BBMF visitor centre and a few outside the fence by the front of the BBMF hangar. However, please do NOT block the large emergency gates in the fence, as they are to be kept clear at all times. Also, please try to avoid parking on the road, as it creates a dangerous obstruction to other users of the narrow roads around the base.

Believing that members, who have recently joined the Union> will find some little interest in knowing where field meetings have been held in the past, and that old members will not be displeased to be reminded of what districts have been visited, this resume has been drawn up. The information contained in it will also be of some use in making future arrangements for visiting the varied surface of our wide county. On June 12th, 1893, the first Field meeting was held at MABLETHORPE — a great day for lovers of nature. Many county naturalists, and also neighbours from adjacent counties, lent their aid in making the opening day a success. The out- come was the formation of the Lincolnshire Naturalists' Union, as now constituted. The second meeting was held on August 7th, at WOOD- H.\LL SPA, and a goodly number of species were recorded. May 24th, 1894, found the members at LINCOLN. The bank of the Fossdyke and Hartsholme \^^ood were investigated, and a general meeting was held in the evening.

Best wishes and Happy Easter Cath Pike Disaster for Louth War Memorial: On the 15th March 2015 a vehicle crashed into the war memorial on the corner of Eastgate in Louth. The driver has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving. Town Clerk Linda Blankley reported that the monument will have to be surveyed for structural damage, but that the main damage appears to be to the shields relating to the Second World War that were at the base of the memorial. However photographs of the memorial and the plaques 1 Lincolnshire Remembrance: Memories and Memorials Spring Newsflash 2015 supplied by Lincolnshire Remembrance project volunteers for an exhibition, have provided valuable evidence that will be used to restore the damaged plaques. From a conservation point of view it is worth making sure you have some detailed photographs of the war memorials in your towns and villages as you never know when disaster will strike.
