Exhibitions mark war centenary
TWO exhibitions marking 100 years since the beginning of World War One are on show at the Museum of Lancashire until November 17.
Outbreak 1914: The Road To The Trenches charts the build-up to the hostilities, from the recruitment and training of troops, to the first clash of arms in France and Belgium.
The exhibition has been created by the National Army Museum in association with the King’s Royal Hussars Museum and Lancashire County Council’s museum service.
The exhibition is complemented by Somewhere In France, which takes a look at some of the postcards and letters sent from soldiers to their families during the First World War.
