FILM-MAKERS are looking for South East Cornwall’s most senior citizens - to enlist their help for a new TV series about the First World War.

Staff from TV documentary company Testimony Films are keen to speak to men and women in Britain who have memories of the First World War for a new BBC4 documentary series, ’Britain’s Great War: The People’s Story’.  

The series will feature the childhood stories of centenarians and supercentenarians who still vividly remember family life at the time, alongside archive footage and testimonies from those who fought. 

‘We are especially interested in talking to those who may have lost a loved one at the front or who remember the air raids, the food shortages and the patriotic spirit of the time,’ said a spokesman. 

Please contact us at the Cornish Times on 01579 342174 or [email protected] and we’ll put you in touch with the film-makers.
