We have had a tremendous response to our challenge to record the stories of Box's families dating back a hundred years. Most of these families had a young Box soldier who served in the First World War.
We are going to publish these stories every couple of weeks under the Blog heading so you can read about the people who created modern Box. We start with the story of the Cannings Family (a family of railway men and women) and young Samuel Cannings who served in the Great War.
Please tell us the story of your family if they lived in the village a century ago.
