You will be pleased to know that we have now received copies of Pilton Village History Group’s new publication, entitled “Pilton, Somerset – Lest We Forget”.
It is the story of the men from Pilton, or with close connections to Pilton, who sadly did not return from the two World Wars.
They will cost £9.00 for hardback, and £5.00 for softback.
Hardbacks are now available from Pilton Post Office (thanks Tracey),
and both hardbacks and paperbacks from Chris King via piltonvillagehistorygroup@gmail.com or 01749 890357
With huge thanks for all their work on the book, from all of us, to…
