                                                 YOU’LL MAKE A LOVELY SERGEANT – The WW1 Experience of Flora Sandes 

 Flora Sandes grew up in Marlesford, Suffolk. She has the distinction of being the only Western woman to join a WW1 army, 
 as a woman not disguised as a man, and fought on the front line. This extraordinary woman experienced an amazing life, 
 full of adventures often fraught with danger. She is still remembered  today in the country for which she served during WW1 
 and despite being a household name throughout the Commonwealth, she is largely unknown today in England.

Old Newspapers

  Local papers have been published in Suffolk for over 300 years.  A remarkable number of them survive
  and can be a vital resource for researching family history.  At the same time they are fascinating, 
  funny and revealing. Many a happy hour can be spent reading about our ancestors and what
  they were getting up to.
