First World War Centenary: ITV Anglia schools project
To mark 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War in the summer of 1914, ITV News Anglia asked the region’s schools and school children to share community stories.
First World War Centenary School Report: Kingsley Primary School
Earlier this year, ITV News Anglia launched its First World War Centenary School Report and asked children from across the region to tell us a Great War story from their area.
Our latest tale was sent in by 10-year-old Eloise Griffiths from Kingsley Primary School in Northampton.
Like so many people trying to find out about war veterans in their family, Eloise knew very little about her great-great-grandfather, who worked as a clicker, cutting out leather at one of the town's famous shoe factories.
So we sent her out with a camera and armed with just a name, an address, a job title and a few photos.
With the help of a few other people, she has been able to trace the story of John Wright - soldier and clicker.
