Our online conference is back! Drop in and out all day long, or settle in for a WW1 marathon.
For just a £20 donation, you'll have 18 stellar talks to choose from on Sunday 26th April in the comfort of your own home. We'll start at noon (UK) and when we're done, we'll throw open the doors to our virtual pub, the Kitchener Arms, for a social.
This day is all about the impact of war on individual people; not armies, divisions and corps. Our applicants have bent the brief in many different ways and come up with some bangers.
