Now the exhibition by David Harrop, commemorating the contribution of the people of Manchester and Salford, during the Great War has been running at Central Ref for just over a month and a bit.
I asked David to select each week one cabinet which could be featured on the blog.
This is Cabinet 3 and David tells me it “includes the posthumous medal of James Pearson Biddle of Didsbury, who is commemorated on the war memorial outside Didsbury Library".
But the fascination of the exhibition is the scope of material to see, and so in the same cabinet there are pieces of crested porcelain, a newspaper report, and part of a scrap book, compiled by Master Harold James Bain.
And in recognition of the significance of the exhibition which commemorates the contribution made by the people of Manchester, Salford and surrounding area, the Lord Mayor of Manchester will be visiting in Flanders Fields, on Wednesday.
The exhibition is on the first floor of Central Ref and runs until the end of November.
