A Soldier's Life in World War I

Mr Stuart Eastwood from Border Regiment Museum gave a fascinating talk yesterday all about the life of the soldier in World War I.  Mrs Jones, Mrs Armstrong and Ms Mullin all brought their Year 7 groups to find out more about a Soldier's Life and to look at the wonderful resources.  This was really useful background information for the Year 7s who are reading 'Private Peaceful' this term.
