Forgotten photographs from World War One taken across the High Peak

In honour of Remembrance Day we wanted to share these old photographs from our archive showing what life was like during the First World War.

The photos show young men all smiles before they went to the front, friends enlisting together, old newspaper cuttings, pictures from when normal life was trying to continue and the wounded who returned home.

We will remember them.
