This Friday, 2nd September, public voting opens for the final 22 projects that have made it through to the finals of the 2011 National Lottery Awards. They include We Were Brothers: a project remembering the heritage of the soldiers who served in WW1, from Fermanagh, which is competing in the Best Heritage Project category.
"We Were Brothers: WW1 A Shared Heritage" is a play, a DVD, a book, an interactive website and a youth project remembering the heritage of soldiers from both the Unionist and the Nationalist traditions who served side by side with the British army in WW1, as members of the Ulster Battalions or the Irish Volunteers.
National Lottery funding enabled the project to research material, from which they wrote the play and performed it with a 'professional' local cast.
