9 Sons Of Kempley

Tracing the lives of the lost young men of the village of Kempley

In October 2014 the village of Kempley, Gloucestershire unveiled a memorial to the 9 men lost in two world wars. This app contains maps, photographs and other material that will help you trace their landscape and history.

In the 1914-18 war 8 of these young men were sent far and wide to die in battle or of disease. The ninth"son" was born in 1919 and serving in the RAF became a casualty of World War 2. As you follow their lives on this "app" you can see, almost unchanged, the beautiful landscape they left behind.
