Trench Art Exhibition
Throughout the day the House of Life Heritage Centre will host a free exhibition of Trench Art, curated by military historian and our volunteer Stan Kaye. He will be on hand to talk about a fascinating collection of shells and bullets, decorated by soldiers, who used a nail or a bayonet point to scratch names and dates. Some even had pictures or poems on them. Others were transformed into works of art or made into useful household tools by local people after the wars. Visitors had a unique opportunity to learn about and hold an object that is over 100 years old which caused death and destruction, as well as becoming a piece of art.
