Brandon British Legion Display


Type: Community and volunteer project

When their cellar relocated to a more convenient location, nearer to the bar, the Brandon British Legion were left with an empty room.  They are now putting this room to good use as an area to display their collection of historical items and memorabilia.  Included in the collection are documents concerning local man, James McArdle, who fought with the Durham Light Infantry during the First World War:

And also Thomas Marshall Iley, another DLI man from Wolsingham:

The display is available to view whenever the bar is open at the Legion building:
