Home Learning Hub: First World War Body Armour and Poetry
This educational video from the Royal Armouries' Home Learning Hub explores the history of body armour used by the British army during World War I. It delves into the collection of the Royal Armouries to tell the story of soldiers who wore this equipment, noting that not all of it was standard issue. The video also examines poetry inspired by the experiences of soldiers in the British Expeditionary Force (BEF). It is designed to support teachers and parents with home schooling and aligns with KS3 & KS4 English and History curricula.
