The Great War

Weston Turville Times Great War Armistice Centenary Edition

A Special Centenary Edition of The Weston Turville Times has been published and printed copies distributed around the parish.

The Newspaper was collated by Glynn White of Weston Turville Historical Society, with typesetting and printing funded by the Parish Council. Thanks to Weston Turville Times distributors, World's End Garden Centre and Ali Boschen for typesetting and design.

It is part of a number of 1918-2018 Remembrance activities being undertaken by Ubiquitous Theatre, funded by the Heart of Bucks Foundation.

In 2014, we executed a project to document the story of the Great war and subsequent Flu pandemic, encompassing those born in the village or associated with the village during this period. One individual we would like to learn more about was a German national Bernard Van Baars who seems to have lived undisturbed in the village as a Grocer throughout the war until his death in 1916.
