As the centenary to mark the start of the First World War approaches, the Imperial War Museum is calling for help with a unique project.

Lives of the First World War is an innovative, interactive digital platform to bring material from museums, libraries, archives and family collections from across the world together in one place for the first time.

It is collecting pictures, memories and archive material to help pay tribute to the millions who died during the 1914-18 conflict.

Almost every town and village in Bedfordshire lost husbands and sons in the First World War.

In Barton le Clay, the memorial to honour the fallen names the 25 soldiers who did not return from the conflict.

The memorial, which also lists the fallen from the Second World War, was unveiled in the village in June 1920.

A roll of honour website complied by Lynda Smith, lists details of many of the fallen, some of whom were only in their teens and twenties.
