This could be a soldier’s letter home from the Front, or a photograph or story from a great grandparent who lived here during the conflict.
Any items loaned will be safely locked in display cases for the duration of the display, photographs or letters can be scanned and returned upon request.
Cllr Malcolm Belchamber, chairman of Littlehampton Town Council’s community resources committee, said: “This is going to be a fascinating exhibition. I hope this request will uncover some unknown local stories to really add a personal touch to our display.”
