DAWLISH Town Council is celebrating receiving £7,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to mark the First World War Centenary.
The council, working in partnership with the Local History Group, Dawlish Library, Dawlish Museum, the combined churches, Dawlish Royal British Legion, and Dawlish Repertory Company, has received the cash to help with the project, 'How the War Impacted on a Small Devon Town'.
Awarded through HLF's 'First World War: then and now' programme, the project will focus on the impact of the First World War on Dawlish and its lost brothers, sons and fathers, and the women who waited for them.
Dawlish Town Council has also committed £3,000 from its own funds to the project.
