The memorial at Old Sodbury is in the form of a lych gate at the entrance to the churchyard. \u00a0 It was erected in 1920 to commemorate 16 men who lost their lives in the First World War. The names are inscribed on the roof beams over the gate. After the Second World War it was amended to include the six who were killed during World War Two.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a digital project which is helping to bring history to life, anyone with a smartphone or tablet can tap into the history of local people from Old Sodbury who lost their lives during the First World War. \u00a0Using modern technology, people will be able to access a Quick Response (QR) code and or war memorial web page link which has been installed near the memorial. When scanned, the QR code provides a link to a wealth of information and personal stories about people named on the memorial who were killed in battle.<\/p>\n

The project has been coordinated by South Gloucestershire Council as part of the Heritage Lottery funded South Gloucestershire First World War project to engage local people with the First World War centenary and includes working with schools and community groups.<\/p>\n
