A presentation entitled “Reepham Caring for the Wounded in WWI” will be held on Friday 22 November at 7 pm in the Town Hall, Church Street, Reepham.
The Bircham Centre and the Town Hall played a key role during the First World War, together forming a Red Cross Hospital caring for wounded soldiers.
The presentation will look at the care Reepham provided and some of the key people who helped deliver that care.
The evening will start with wine and cheese, before telling some of the stories and showing some of the documents and records held by the Reepham Archive.
Tickets are £5 (cash only), including wine and cheese, and can be bought from the Bircham Centre office, Monday to Friday mornings, or on the door on the evening.
