1 How was World War I Fought?

2 Europe in 1914

3 The British government wanted to encourage men to enlist for war. They said the war would be safe, hardly any fighting, a good lark and over by Christmas. They used advertising posters to encourage this idea! A picture of soldiers going ‘Over the Top’

5 How the uniform and equipment changed after just three weeks in the trenches…
