More Than Just A Name

More Than Just a Name is an exhibition that Delta and The Vale Academy are really proud to be part of. The Vale Academy, Sir John Nelthorpe School and Brigg Town Council worked together on the exhibition designed to give students and the community at large the opportunity to look beyond the names on the headstones in the Commonwealth War Graves section of Brigg Cemetery. The project supported by The Commonwealth War Graves Commission runs from 8th November to 10th of December and the results of the student’s research can be seen on small plaques placed besides the graves in the CWGC section of the cemetery.

Examples of some of the work produced by Vale Academy students can be seen below. If you would like to see more then we recommend a trip to the CWGC section of Brigg Cemetery.

Take a moment to learn more about the soldiers, sailors and airmen that are buried there.

They were more than just a name.
