The Butterworth Brothers

Speaker: Ian Birnie
WFABUTTERWORTH

Ian tells the story of the Butterworth brothers who are commemorated on a number of memorials in Lancaster.

They are four brothers who all lost their lives in the Great War.

Miraculously, Ian's great grandfather William's remains were discovered in 2009.

The talk gives some insight into a family who lost more than most.
