Echoes of WW1 in the final centenary year - 2018

Echoes Across the Century
This beautiful book reveals the stories behind the scenes of WW1 through the eyes of 240 London students. How did those left behind cope with separation and loss? Who drove the ambulances, made the saddles, shipped the boots, kept communication lines open, staffed the hospital ships? How did they cook the meals, produce the ration tins, recruit more troops? What was it like to fly the early aircraft? Playing cards were a crucial link to home, a distraction and an ice-breaker. Peace memorials are a lasting reminder of loss and a monument to a nation's gratitude. 

12 heritage objects were explored and students created responses to their research working with artist Jane Churchill, whose own haunting work inspired stunning artwork by the 240 participating students.

Livery Schools Link worked in partnership with schools and Livery Companies and the project was generously supported by National Lottery players through the Heritage Lottery fund. The project was conceived and delivered for Livery Schools Link by Alison Truphet and Jane Churchill. Jane Churchill's own hauntingly beautiful WW1 installation, Degrees of Separation, is featured in the book.
