“A brilliant kit. The items in the kit made the research authentic. It brought the stories of soldiers to life. The items captured the children's attention. However, the research material was more suited to higher levels.”

“Wow! This is a brilliant and engaging resource. The students - and other teachers - have thoroughly enjoyed discovering the stories behind these artefacts. We have only scratched the tip of the iceberg but it has brought the history of WW1 to life in a way that is real to the students. Our school is attached to a College and we can directly relate some of these stories to some of our older students - it brings it home that these were real young men from local areas.”
