A talk by Stephen Barker.
This fully illustrated talk looks at the impact of the First World War Armistice and the legacy of the war in local communities. How was the Armistice celebrated? What happened when soldiers returned home? How did families manage in the immediate aftermath? Emphasis is placed on individual soldiers and families’ stories, oral testimony and unseen photographs from the time, giving perspectives from Bucks, Oxon, Northants and Warwickshire.
