The “Back to the Front” Project is planning over twenty events in 2018 to commemorate those from the local area that served in the Great War between 1914-1918. Grant applications have been made to support funding for specific project events and activities. A major grant application has been made to the Heritage Lottery Fund through its First World War Centenary scheme – “the First World War, Then and Now”. An application has also been submitted to the Abbots Langley Parish Council’s “Financial Grants Scheme”, to support the publishing of a book of the seven hundred and twenty local soldiers’ stories. The outcome of these applications is expected in the coming weeks
