The First World War in 100 objects

Doyle, Peter, 1960-2014
Books, Manuscripts
Objects allow us to reach out and touch the past and they play a living role in history today. Through them we can understand the experience of men and women during the First World War. They bear witness to the stories of men whose only morning comfort in the trenches was the rum ration, children who grew up with only one photograph of the father that they would never get to know, women who would sacrifice their girlhood in hospitals yards from the frontline, pinning a brooch on to remind themselves of a past life. Through these artefacts, Doyle tells the story of the First World War in a whole new light.
