Peter and John from the Living History Project joined our group to lead a fascinating discussion on the conditions experienced by soldiers in WWI.  Peter and John also were able to give us a number of pointers as to what direction we might take our project – Thank you Peter and John!

On Thursday 6th March the High Weald Academy group enjoyed a fantastic day in London.  We took in some relevant memorial sites, then saw a matinee production of War Horse.  All the group were profoundly moved by the theatricality and sensitivity of the play and it shed a great deal of light on conditions experienced by many in WWI.
