Tom, Frank and May - One Family's Story

Thomas and Elizabeth Merry lived at Blakesley Hall from 1901 -1932 and their three children, Tom, Frank and May all played important, yet different roles in this conflict. Tom was an officer in the Army Service Corps based at Rouen, Frank fought at Passchendaele with the Artists Rifles and May enrolled in the Voluntary Aid Detachment, working in a number of military hospitals, caring for the wounded from the front. Through photographs, medals and letters from the family’s archive, visitors to Blakesley Hall can discover the true effect of the war on one family.
