Opening of the exhibition in Keighley Library by Keighley Mayor Gulfraz Hussein on 21st September 2024:
This was the event which began the exhibition of our work to add names to the Borough of Keighley 1914 – 1918 roll of honour in 2024.
Supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Keighley Town Council.
KB – Amazing body of work Andy, Keep up the good work.
TM – Felt so sad reading the details for parents and families. So important to have these lads included.
CF – This project and exhibition is meaningful and moving. What an honour to have been involved – well done, Andy and the Team. A lasting, fitting tribute to those who gave everything for us all.

Comment made four days later on Thursday 25th September 2024:
IL – So much research, delving, sifting, uncovering to bring these lives back into the light. A stunning achievement by the Men of Worth team. A reminder of sacrifices made by ordinary people doing extraordinary things that affected so many.
