Craghead at War


During the First World War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England. These have been made available by Newcastle Libraries.

The War Memorial on Edward Street in Craghead lists the names of those lost in both World Wars.
