Sunderland in the First World War

The period from 2014-18 marked the 100th anniversary of the First World War, one of the most significant events in world history. During that time Sunderland City Council worked in partnership with local groups and organisations to commemorate Sunderland's role in that devastating conflict.

A programme of events including guided walks and community projects were developed, culminating in the creation of the website Sunderland in the First World War which was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
