DESCRIPTION
This was produced by Liz Bregazzi at Durham Records Office for a project we were running on life for soldiers on the Western Front in World War One. It's a selection of artefacts from the archives' huge range and would be ideal for teachers looking for interesting sources to use with their class. This project also led to a great website for students and a range of resources for teachers which is well worth visiting here http://www.durhamrecordoffice.org.uk/Pages/WorldWarOneintroduction.aspx
