As the city of Southampton expanded during the m<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">id-twentieth century, Swaythling became a Southampton suburb and its history was overshadowed by the bigger story of the city. As a result, Swaythling\u2019s role during the First World War has been left largely undocumented. Our mission is to uncover the air, equine, and community contribution that Swaythling made to the war effort.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_root text_exposed\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_root text_exposed\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_root text_exposed\" style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Project Members<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_root text_exposed\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_root text_exposed\">Dr Eleanor Quince, University of Southampton (Project Lead) <a href=\"mailto:E.M.Quince@soton.ac.uk\">E.M.Quince@soton.ac.uk<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_root text_exposed\">Kirstie Guildford (Student Researcher) <a href=\"mailto:kg8g14@soton.ac.uk\">kg8g14@soton.ac.uk<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_root text_exposed\">Dr Cheryl Butler, Head of Culture, Eastleigh Borough Council<\/div>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_root text_exposed\">Jo Basham, Volunteer Coordinator, Royal Victoria Country Park<\/div>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_root text_exposed\">Barbara Cooke, Community Development Officer, Radian Ltd (Solent)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the Swaythling in the Great War AHRC project blog.
