Talk on First World War

Friday 11th November

At lunchtime today, around 40 girls from Remove to Upper 5 enjoyed a lunchtime talk about the First World War led by Mr McGovern, fully clad in First World War uniform. They sampled some trench stew, prepared to a genuine recipe, which was reviewed as "tasting like cat food", "might be better if not cold", "disgusting" and "not too bad"! They found out a bit more about some of the kit soldiers used, the conditions in the trenches and the role of the Royal Guernsey Light Infantry. Posters from the era, as well as documents and artefacts all brought the topic to life on this most poignant of days.  Very many thanks to Mr McGovern for his efforts.
