<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:110%"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:110%">The Langley Centennial Museum has partnered with historian and guest curator Warren Sommer to bring you
<i>Sacrifice and Sorrow</i>, which examines the First World War with a focus on what the conflict meant to the people of Langley.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:110%;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:110%"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:110%">Many volunteered for service, made their way overseas, underwent training, and faced the enemy in the trenches of the Western Front. We also meet the
soldiers’ families – proud but anxious parents and worried siblings. Men, women, and children joined forces to raise money, create and gather supplies for soldiers, and shoulder much of the work that would otherwise have occupied their fathers and brothers.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:110%"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:110%">Visitors will discover the war through uniforms, equipment, weapons, drawings and paintings, medals and decorations, letters, and memorabilia.<i>
</i>Witness restored archival film footage of BC soldiers drilling and embarking for overseas as well as footage of
<i>The Battle of the Somme</i>, released in 1916 and touted at the time as “the most remarkable moving picture which has ever been produced.” The exhibit also features a multimedia component prepared by Langley Fine Arts student Alex Houlihan.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:110%"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:110%">Close to 400 young Langley men and boys enlisted; one in ten would never return to their loved ones, their remains forever lying buried in the blood-stained
battlefields. The exhibition concludes with a look at their memorials, whether it be a grave in a Commonwealth cemetery or as one of the thousands of names inscribed on memorials to the missing on the Menin Gate or at Vimy Ridge.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
