Yesterday and today, 100 years ago, the local boys found themselves thrust into the fighting at Ypres. Over the next few days, news was filtering back to Radcliffe, Alnwick, Broomhill, Amble, etc., that many of the boys that had left England just a week ago were being killed and wounded. You can imagine the surprise and shock when the scale of events started to sink in back home.
