The Project
In 2016, Qube was awarded funding by the Heritage Lottery Fund to research and record biographic details of the fallen men who are listed on the Oswestry WW1 War Memorial, sited at the entrance to Cae Glas Park. The project aims to uncover civilian and military information for each of the men listed on the pillars, enabling each of their unique stories to be told as completely as possible and interpret their lives and sacrifice in the context of ‘Oswestry’ and ‘The Great War’.

The Men on the Gates Team
The project is being led by researcher John Davies and has been generously supported by ten volunteers. Their roles range from research, fact checking and website development to marketing and design.
