Kildwick Local History Group in 2014, when the Parish Council loaned the minute book to the group and allowed it to be scanned.<\/p>\n<p>Later that year a copy of the Roll was used as part of the History Group\u2019s exhibit at a Local History Fair held in Skipton Library.\u00a0 There it attracted the interest of staff from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), who suggested that it could form the basis of a project that might obtain <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hlf.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heritage Lottery Funding<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Together with Kildwick and Farnhill Local Village Institute, the History Group formed the Farnhill WW1 Volunteers Project, which put forward a successful bid for Heritage Lottery Funding to research the lives of these men before, during, and after the war; and to explore what village life was like 100 years ago, and the social context in which the men lived.<\/p>\n<p>This website shows the results of this research, carried out during 2017 and 2018, as well as work done subsequently by members of the History Group.<\/p>\n<p>A full <a href=\"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/WW1%20project%20report\/Farnhill%20WW1%20Volunteers%20End%20of%20Project%20Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report on all the activities<\/a> carried out by the project during its two-year lottery funding was prepared for the HLF in January 2019.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any additional information \u2013 photographs, documents or other material \u2013 about the Farnhill WW1 Volunteers or their families, please get in touch with the project through our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/contact\/\">Contact Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-dxpvj-dbda99a444268419fe871096c0386a57\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-dxpvj-dbda99a444268419fe871096c0386a57{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-dxpvj-dbda99a444268419fe871096c0386a57 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ak7nb-86232b34c4ac27716e838735143766fb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/WW1%20booklet\/From%20Farnhill%20to%20the%20Front%20-%20booklet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2808 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/booklet-cover-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"From Farnhill to the Front - booklet\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/booklet-cover-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/booklet-cover.jpg 411w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/WW1%20booklet\/From%20Farnhill%20to%20the%20Front%20-%20booklet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download our booklet<\/a> <\/strong>about the Volunteers<\/p>\n<p>If you have any information on any of these men, particularly the post-war lives of those men who survived the conflict, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/contact\/\">we&#8217;d like to hear from you<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Farnhill WW1 Volunteers Project","_seopress_titles_desc":"Farnhill WW1 Volunteers Project Farnhill Volunteers","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-191","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191"}],"version-history":[{"count":35,"href":"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/191\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3694,"href":"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/191\/revisions\/3694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.farnhill.co.uk\/volunteers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
