Battlefield Tours Commemorating the Centenary of the First World War
The IOE has devised a £5.3 million national education program to allow secondary schools in England to visit battlefields on the Western Front.
The commemorations of the First World War Centenary, which took place from 2014 to 2018, were a worldwide act of memory to honor and commemorate those who died in the conflict.
The Centenary Commemorations of WWI (2014-2018)
The First World War, dubbed "the war to end all wars," was the first worldwide conflict. Between 1914 and 1918, about 30 countries fought in the war.
Fighting took place not just on the 'Western Front' in Europe, but also in southern and eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. A total of 37 million people, including soldiers and civilians, died as a result of the war.
At the Haringey Local History Fair, there will be a talk about First World War Commemorative Projects in Haringey.

Doss, Desmond
Desmond Doss was a courageous medic during World War II who refused to carry a weapon. Despite being labeled a “conscientious objector,” he single-handedly rescued the lives of 50 to 100 American Marines on Okinawa’s Maeda Escarpment in 1945.
Pilecki, Witold
Captain Witold Pilecki of the Polish Army volunteered to enter Auschwitz in order to expose the camp’s horrors to the rest of the world. In the guise of the Polish resistance, he formed a network of convicts to assist him. Unfortunately, the underground army believed Pilecki had overstated the camp’s hardships and refused to believe him.
Murphy, Audie
Audie Murphy was a short, baby-faced Texas boy whose talent as a soldier made him one of WWII’s most decorated heroes. By halting a German attack, he was awarded the Medal of Honor. Murphy mounted an abandoned flaming tank destroyer, wounded and alone with a gun, and held off the Germans long enough for the Allies to launch a counterattack.
Deborah Sampson
During the Revolutionary War, Deborah Sampson disguised herself as a male for two years in order to fight in the Continental Army. She dug the bullet out of her own leg rather than be exposed after being shot in battle. She was discovered and honorably dismissed after an exam years later while critically ill. Her spouse was the first man to receive a widow’s pension, and she was one of the first female lecturers. Commons Wikimedia Commons
Frank Luke
In his short time-fighting in WWI, Frank Luke epitomized the reckless image of a fighter pilot by going after heavily defended German observation balloons. He shot down 14 enemy balloons and four aircraft in 30 hours of flight time over ten sorties in nine days of warfare.On Sept. 29, 1918, he flew his final mission but was unfortunately shot down in the air. Luke was able to land his jet in Murvaux, France, but he died as a result of his injuries.

Frightful First World War in Horrible Histories (exhibition)
From May 24, 2008, to January 4, 2009, the Imperial War Museum North hosted the exhibition Frightful First World War. It was based on the same-named Horrible Histories book, which is one of the series’ most popular. It was made in collaboration with Terry Deary Scholastic. The show was free to the public.
Contents
To convey the tale of the First World War, the exhibition “places novelist Terry Deary’s words and artist Martin Brown’s graphics beside the Imperial War Museum’s artefacts.” “Explore the horrible conditions in the trenches through feely boxes, and smell to experience what critters and terrible stenches would have kept the men company,” according to the Trench Action Station interactive.
Development
The exhibition was produced “to mark the 90th anniversary of the conclusion of the First World War” and was “specially tailored for younger visitors” by Ingenious Creative of Macclesfield, Cheshire. According to Terry Deary, “The First World War is an excellent subject for Horrible Histories since it is a dark comedy for young readers. The people’s gallows humour was vital in their survival of the horrors. It’s a lesson on how mankind handles the worst that the world has to offer. That is what education should be all about: preparing us for life, both the good and the bad “..
According to Culture24, “Museums often have a reputation for being intimidating, but this exhibition aims to show that this isn’t always the case. Terry Deary understands how important comedy is in presenting tales and engaging an audience. ‘People want to laugh,’ he says. However, after the laughing fades, you may be left with something more profound. ‘Knowledge or comprehension, or both.'”
Reception
“This is a fresh and unique landmark exhibition, combining the populism of the Horrible Histories books with the distinction of the IWM collection,” Culture24 said. “It is especially important because this will be the last major anniversary when any veterans alive who were there at the time will still be alive.” “You may look at them a hundred times and be lured in to a world of people who are long dead yet whose lives were caught forever in the click of a shutter,” Terry Deary said of the images.
Energized, refreshed, and reloaded!
All the gruesome details regarding the dreadful First World War are waiting to be discovered, including:

These bestselling novels, which have been featured on BBC Bitesize and have been refurbished with a great new design, are guaranteed to be a huge hit with yet another generation of Terry Deary fans.

Frightful First World War in Horrible Histories
(1 review with a 5 out of 5 average rating) Scholastic Inc. is the publisher. Want to learn how to sing trench songs, decipher communication codes, or learn about the role of animals in the First World War? If that’s the case, this is the book for you. Terry Deary has written a book that describes life for both the Allies and the Central Powers in the trenches and at home throughout WWII.
There are fascinating information regarding how soldiers entertained themselves and how women’s lives altered during the conflict. The material is delivered in bite-sized chunks with witty drawings and images. The book narrates the war’s story chronologically, so it may be read from beginning to end, but it also lends itself to being skimmed through.

2016 marks the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme
The Battle of the Somme is a one-of-a-kind film that is a highlight of the IWM's collection. It is the first feature-length, documentary-style film on conflict, and it is credited with transforming the public's perception of cinema. IWM made The Battle of the Somme available for free to members of the Partnership in 2016, a century after it was filmed, coupled with a contemporary score commissioned by IWM from composer Laura Rossi.
