Remembering the First World War in Dorset

This short film, part of a series of three, is designed for KS2 teachers to use in the classroom in support of a local history study. It explores....
• Why we remember soldiers that died in the First World War
• Where to find local memorials
• How to read a Commonwealth War Grave headstone
• The story of Neville Tattersfield, a Tank Corps soldier buried in Wareham Cemetery
• Examples of the many and varied memorials in towns and villages across the County
It was created by The Tank Museum and Battlefield History Television. #tankmuseum #tanks

These 3 videos under the heading of Education are unique in that they present the war as an event of flesh and blood. Most documentaries on war address technology, or politics, or tactics. and by doing so are reduced to coldness of chalkboard math lessons. Your presentation is touching at a very basic level. You teach that dread, sadness, and suffering are war. That's a lesson that should be learned early and reviewed often.

Hopefully never forgotten.

So sad that this video has so few views compared to some of the 'personality' ones.
