First World War project seeks ‘citizen historians’
A global project has been launched which will research the lives and wartime service of ‘Geordies’ – from the North-East of England – in the armies of Australia, New Zealand, Newfoundland, and Canada during the First World War.
‘Dominion Geordies in World War One’ – funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council – will seek to ‘crowdsource’ research by recruiting volunteer researchers in Canada and overseas.
