A
new book, Bollington 1914-1918 ...and more,
has been written by Dave Williams (husband of Vicar Veronica
Hydon) and Roy Arnold, describing WWI in the context of its affect
on Bollington and the families living here. It lists every Bollington
man killed in both WWI and WWII, giving biographical details
of their lives in Bollington before service in the military and
as much as is known about their loss in battle. The book is available
at St Oswald's Church, the Discovery Centre, the Bridgend Centre
and other outlets, price £7.99. The profits are shared
between the church and a charity, Combat Stress, which provides
respite to those returning from wars with what used to be known
as shell shock but is today known as post traumatic stress disorder.
