Matt Slaughter spoke to its creators to find out the inspiration behind it NEW BRIGHTON Museum volunteers Fay Lal and Margaret Uhrbom have created an exhibition called The New Brighton Boys, which includes the faces and stories of 62 World War 1 and 2 soldiers with strong links to the area. These are told in three books, which are available for visitors to look at. The information within the books was researched by New Brighton Museum treasurer Margaret Kelso, 76, who has lived in New Brighton almost all of her life. Mrs Kelso said the books included details on the family histories of New Brighton soldiers, where they fought, if they returned home and for those who died, where they are buried. She said she recognised a few of their family names and her grandparents grew up in New Brighton and would have known some of the men featured in the books. The exhibition largely features men from the area who fought in World War 1. “It’s mostly World War 1, but there’s a few from World War 2 as well,” Mrs Kelso said. Her interest came from being involved in the New Brighton community for many years. “The district is really important to me,” she said. “They’re very notable people, REMEMBERED: Margaret Uhrbom (left) and Fay Lal have helped create The New Brighton Boys display in New Brighton Museum, which tells the stories of 62 World War 1 and 2 soldiers with strong links to the area. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER very brave people. They fought for us and I think they deserve recognition.”Mrs Kelso said the soldiers in the books had similar lifestyles to those living in the area today day, with many belonging to the local surf lifesaving clubs.

PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday April 23 2019 5 Local News Now Fire rages, homes at risk Brighton’s World War 1 soldiers Mrs Lal said the information Mrs Kelso had collected about the soldiers needed to be shared with the community. “We wanted to present these books in a meaningful way,” she said. “We had this material available to us, so why not get it out there and present it to the people that come into the museum.” Mrs Uhrbom said there were still families in the area who are connected to some of the men from the exhibition who fought in World War 1. She said The New Brighton Boys display would play an important role in ensuring these links were not forgotten over time. “Obviously, they’re dead and buried and gone and their direct families in most cases are dead and gone as well, but their offspring are here . . . old families are still in New Brighton and it’s respectful,” Mrs Uhrbom said.
