We could not leave Warwick without visiting the memorial chapel at Saint Mary's Church and paying our respects to those who had laid down their lives.

RRF museum visit continued....
Stephanie Bennett (curator at the RRF museum) had kindly arranged for re-enactor Paul Thomson to come along to the session. Paul inspired the boys with his "day in the life of a WWI soldier". He brought in some objects from the period for the boys to handle...
....which we think they rather enjoyed!!
At the end of the day we got the boys started on some 'drill', under the watchful eye of actor and support artist Greg Hobbs, an ex-soldier himself. We see it as a good step towards our production - what do you think?!
Visit to the Royal Regimental Fusiliers (Royal Warwicshire) musem, Warwick - November 2013
In November we visited the RRF museum (Royal Warwickshire) in Warwick to learn more about the living conditions of the soldiers fighting in the First World War. The participants were asked to develop emotion graphs which emphasize the feeling of the soldiers during the Great War and to gather data from different media (notebooks, diaries, newspapers, etc) in order to create complete biographies of soldiers.
They also got to try on some of the uniforms!
