Our men who Served WW1:
We deliver Talks/Presentations/Workshops and courses on the contributions made by several nations to the most talked about wars. We highlight that this is not new and that several wars before 1914 and after 1945 included human beings from all areas on the colonised world. All our families have been impacted and have a unique story to share. We start with the familiar narratives to explore the History Behind The History that unites all peoples.
