School loan box: World War 1 – the Home Front

It’s over 100 years since the start of the First World War. We have created two new school loan boxes packed with a comprehensive collection of objects and images looking at this conflict through the perspective of both those at home, and those fighting on the Front Line.

You can choose one loan box or borrow both of them to create an extended learning experience.

A description of each object
Object handling guidance
