Macclesfield remembers Gallipoli

Weekend of 15^th & 16^th August

The work of Macclesfield Reflects, The Macclesfield World War One Commemoration Group, continues with a weekend of learning about and remembering those from the Macclesfield area and the 7^th Cheshire Regiment who participated in the Gallipoli landings on 9^th August 1915.

On Saturday 15^th August in The Town Hall, a series of lectures on various aspects of the Gallipoli Campaign will take place. In addition, there will be exhibitions about WW1, Gallipoli and the Macclesfield area in 1915, and a WW1 research helpdesk.

Do you have any local WW1 stories or memorabilia? Please bring them along to share with our research volunteers.

Entrance to The Town Hall is free with a small charge for some of the lectures.
