Witton Warriors 1914 to 1919

WITTON WARRIORS IS THE STORY OF WITTON LE WEAR, A SMALL RURAL VILLAGE IN COUNTY DURHAM, ENGLAND, DURING THE GREAT WAR. IT GIVES INSIGHT INTO THE MEN WHO LEFT THE VILLAGE RAILWAY STATION IN HIGH SPIRITS, TO FIGHT FOR THEIR KING, COUNTRY AND FREEDOM. SOME PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE, HOWEVER MANY CAME BACK TO A VILLAGE LITTLE CHANGED IN APPEARANCE, BUT TO A WAY OF LIFE THAT HAD CHANGED FOR EVER. WHAT THEY LIVED THROUGH WAS RARELY SPOKEN ABOUT AND BURIED DEEP INSIDE THEM. THE FAMILIES LEFT BEHIND COULD RARELY UNDERSTAND THE CAMARADERIE OF WAR, AND SUPPORTED THEIR LADS IN EVERY WAY THEY COULD. WITTON WARRIORS HAS UNCOVERED THE BRAVERY OF MANY WHO LIVED AT THAT TIME.
