Some things in the world don't change much, and coverage in the West Briton newspaper (print version), despite the power of the Web, still means a lot locally.So it was great to see an article today, as we officially launch our Heart of Conflict exhibition, on one of the stories that we've featured. Camborne Rubgy Club sent a ball out to the Front at the start of the War and soldiers from Cornwall and Devon played three matches.
We tracked down two of the grandsons of those who played: Chris Negus (grandson of Fred Negus) and Derek Head (grandson of Fred Head).
The article also mentions the fact that we discovered Fred Negus was recommended for his bravery, and was a prisoner at the end of the war. His family had been unaware of this.
