Our Ancestors Served

Our Ancestors Served is a recent project that actively explores the global narratives of all who served on both sides of European Wars, aiming to provide a more comprehensive understanding of historical events. This project encourages all communities to unearth their historical timelines and share their ancestors on the world stage, emphasizing the importance of education and remembrance in shaping a more inclusive historical narrative.
