Teenagers dedicate support to Lincolnshire museum

Five young men are dedicating their spare time to help support a local Lincolnshire museum.

After finding out the owner of the We’ll Meet Again WW2 Museum based at Freiston Shore Nr Boston had been diagnosed with terminal illness, Archie, Jacob, Alfie, Leon and Ewan – who’s ages range from 13-16 – have been coming to the museum at weekends dressed in full period WW2 uniforms to talk to the public about items on display and give guided tours of the original WW2 gunline and buildings situated next to the museum.

They have also been busy digging authentic trenches to help with the visual impact.

All the public donations given in recognition of the lads’ exceptional knowledge of the WW2 structures and equipment has gone towards the upkeep of the museum charity.

The group are now volunteering alongside the regular museum volunteers to give the public that extra special experience. The dedication shown by these young men should not go unrecognised, giving the museum owner Paul that extra reason to fight on through his ongoing treatment.
