Unfortunately, due to reduced fundraising resources, WMT has made the tough decision to close the Learning Programme in its current form and the Learning Officer role will finish on 12th April.
Resources to use with young people will still be available at learnaboutwarmemorials.org

Thoughts of a teacher during a recent visit "I hadn't thought about the fact that many who died were not buried in their home countries so the memorial is important to them."
Help your pupils understand the importance of their local war memorial.

Always an interesting point of discussion when spotted by young people during a school visit.

Did you know many war memorials across the UK include 1914-1919 as the dates of the First World War? This is because the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, to find out more about dates on war memorials, see our helpsheet: warmemorials.org/helpsheets/…

Was great to visit @kings_avenue yesterday to work with year 4 pupils as part of their World War II topic. They did an excellent job of finding out about those who are remembered on World War II war memorials near to their school.
