Get Learning: Commemorating WW1 – My Village/Town/City

Thursday 29th October 2015

Find out more about the impact World War 1 had on your village/town/city. Could your young people visit a local museum/library, local War Memorial or your local archive service. Local archives accessed through your library service or local council may be able to give access for your young people to do some research including reviewing newspapers and other documents. See what the young people can find out about their local area, what was it like to live in the village/town/city they live in today, what was it like to live in Britain between 1914-1918? If old enough, your church/BB records may also give great insight into life during the war, including what your church/BB Company did to support the war effort.
