From the iconic to the intimate, each object is illustrated and
accompanied by the story of its role within the war and its
significance todayObjects 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 World War I. 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, and
women who would sacrifice their girlhood in hospitals yards from
the frontline, pinning a brooch on to remind themselves of a past
life. Weapons like the machine gun and vehicles like the tank
transformed the battlefield; planes with pilots that had just
learned to fly them entangled in dogfights far above the barbed
wire of the frontline; and German submarines stalked the seas.
These incredible artifacts tell the story of the World War I in a
whole new light, as do the Football of Loos, the Mk I tank, the
German Pickelhaube, Canadian cap badges, the "Butcher" bayonet, a
trench coat, a soldier's Christmas gift, a death card, and many
more.
