Introduction
Emily:
Basingstoke, South West of London with a population of 171,900 people, but do the
residents of the city know the history of Basingstoke? What happened during both the
World Wars and how they have changed the town? In this documentary we will be exploring
the story of Basingstoke at 1914 1918 and 1939 - 1945 and how much the people of
Basingstoke know about it.
Stacey:
The War Memorial Park at London Road is a tribute for the men who served in the war.
There is a statue by the Civic Offices and has 233 names to represent only a small proportion
of Basingstoke men who died serving in the First World War. It is believed that 600 is nearer
to the total number of men lost. They are listed only by surname and initial.
To find out a bit more about Basingstoke, we interviewed some people on how much they
know about the town during World War I and II.
