In association with the Imperial War Museum and as part of a nationwide programme of events commemorating the centenary of WW1
Up until 1914 the poetry being written was usuallythe work of professionals expressing public
spirit or references to past military glories. From
the moment that war was inevitable the mood
changed. This was the first war fought by civilians
and the poets had to find the right language to
express their inner feelings. Talk to be given by RICHARD FIELD. Tea and trench cake to be served at 4pm.
