Thurrock Museum

Exhibition honours Thurrock's fallen servicemen and women

A special Armistice Exhibition commemorates servicemen and women from Thurrock who lost their lives in conflicts, from the First World War to Afghanistan, helping ensure their stories are remembered by future generations.

The Thurrock Museum exhibition, displayed in the ground floor gallery at the Thameside Complex, shines a light on the stories of men and women from Thurrock who served their country and lost their lives in conflicts spanning more than a century.

Through photographs, historical records and personal stories, visitors will learn about local people who made the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War, Second World War, Korean War, Malayan Emergency, Falklands Conflict and the war in Afghanistan.

The Armistice Exhibition forms part of Thurrock's annual programme of Remembrance events, providing an opportunity for residents of all ages to learn more about the borough's military history and pay tribute to those who served.

The Armistice Exhibition is free to visit and will be open during normal operating hours at the Thameside Complex from 30 October until 13 November.
