STORIES from soldiers from the Cheshire Regiment have been included in a major new exhibition.
The never before told tales are featured in Imperial War Museum North's show From Street To Trench: A World War That Shaped A Region, which marks the start of the First World War Centenary.
It is the largest exhibition ever created exploring the lives and experiences of people from the north west during the First World War.
The free exhibition at IWM North in Salford reveals more than 200 personal objects, films, sound recordings, photographs, artworks and letters - many on public display for the first time.
On display in the From Street To Trench exhibition is a rare Albert Medal awarded to front line medic Sergeant Victor Brookes for his life-saving actions; a Victoria Cross belonging to Cheshire soldier John Davies who put his life at risk to save others; and many other little known stories uncovered by IWM researchers.
The exhibition runs until 2015.
