Title	Revisiting Ypres - Performed Lecture for Ypres 100
Description	Revisiting Ypres, 1919-1931: Performed Lecture, co-written from primary sources by Helen Brooks and Mark Connelly. People visited the battlefields of the Great War with a wide range of motivations. Some were veterans retracing their own steps trying to make sense of the whole experience; some were treading in the steps of lost loved ones; others were tourists searching out thrills in the sheer surrealism and magnitude of the devastated landscape. At the same time, local people were trying to re-establish their own lives in extremely trying conditions. For the people of Flanders, visitors were both an opportunity and a challenge. They offered the potential to make money to help get life back on track; at the same time, they often interfered, both consciously and unconsciously, in the process of reconstruction. In this presentation, we aim to show you the sheer variety of voices and influences affecting the experience of visiting the former battlefields in the years immediately after the war. The texts Will R. Bird, Thirteen Years After. The Story of the Old Front Line Revisited (Toronto: Maclean Publishing Company Limited, 1932). J.O. Coop, A Short Guide to the Battlefields (Liverpool: Daily Post, 1920). Lieutenant General Sir William Pulteney and Beatrix Brice, The Immortal Salient.

Title	St Barnabas Pilgrimage - for Ypres 100
Description	The St. Barnabas Pilgrimage, 1923: a dramatized verbatim performance. Co-written by Helen Brooks and Mark Connelly from original sources. Directed by Helen Brooks. Established to assist those with limited means to visit the places where their loved ones where commemorated, the St Barnabas Hostels' Palm Sunday, 1923, pilgrimage to Ypres consisted of 850 people. The pilgrimages represented a feat of endurance for many, as they were designed as day trips. People from across Britain assembled at Victoria Station on the Saturday night, and arrived in Calais very early on Sunday morning. From here, they took the train to Abeele for the main ceremony at Lijssenthoek Cemetery. By 1923, Lijssenthoek Cemetery was very nearly completed, and was the second largest Imperial War Graves Commission cemetery in Belgium. After a communion service, the pilgrims were broken into small groups to visit specific cemeteries and the graves of their loved ones. The large party then reassembled in Ypres for the return to Britain. Many must have returned physically and emotionally exhausted, but with the satisfaction of having visited the precise place of commemoration, often having laid flowers specially gathered from home, and, sometimes, taking back some kind of specific memento. Our presentation aims to give you a sense of that experience complete with its rich emotional tapestry. In this fifteen minute dramatized performance, all of the texts have been drawn from St. Barnabas Pilgrimages, 1923 (London: Eyre and Spottiswoode, n.d.). Extracts from the book include material from the Daily Express coverage of the pilgrimage; the testimony of Mrs William McLean to the People's Journal; Mary Macleod Moore's account for the Toronto Saturday Night. Macleod Moore was the London correspondent for the paper and for the Montreal Gazette. She was clearly very determined to report from France and Belgium and fought hard to gain the necessary official clearance. On arrival, she travelled extensively behind the lines during the war reporting on conditions, and in 1919 she published a history of Canadian Red Cross services during the conflict. Major B.S. Browne was a member of the Christian movement, Toc H, which was founded by the Reverend P.B. 'Tubby' Clayton, at Poperinge, during the war, and the Ypres League. Cast Phoebe Hopwood (Drama Graduate, School of Arts, University of Kent): Mary Macleod Moore. Jayne Thompson (School of Arts, University of Kent): Mrs William McLean.

Description	Gateways to the First World War, 2014-2019 Gateways to the First World War is one of five public engagement centres established in 2014 with funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The AHRC established the engagement centres to "act as beacons for community outreach, engagement and collaboration at a local/regional and a UK-wide scale between research organisations and researchers and community groups, including young people, who are interested in researching and commemorating the First World War..." A key focus of this initiative was to support community projects funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The Gateways core team consists of : 1. Prof. Mark Connelly (Director, Kent) 2. Prof. Brad Beaven (Portsmouth) 3. Dr Helen Brooks (Kent) 4. Dr Sam Carroll (Community Heritage Researcher, Kent) 5. Dr Zoë Denness (Research Centre Manager) 6. Prof. Alison Fell (Leeds) 7. Dr Emma Hanna (Kent) 8. Prof. Lucy Noakes (Essex) Images of team Between 2014 and 2019, Gateways has supported community engagement activities to connect academic and public histories of the First World War and its legacy by: 1. Helping community organisations to secure funding for First World War projects and supporting community researchers across the UK with research expertise, skills and resources 1 2. Enriching public understandings of the impact and legacies of the First World War through the co-production of research by academic researchers and the wider community 4 3. Developing partnerships and collaborations that lay the foundations for a sustainable legacy of relationships, practices, resources and structures for building dialogue between academic and public historical research. 6 1. Helping community organisations to secure funding for First World War projects and supporting community researchers across the UK with research expertise, skills and resources Since the launch of the centre in 2014, Gateways has supported 73 organisations from 53 UK constituencies to make successful applications to the Heritage Lottery Fund and two successful applications to the Arts Council. The total amount of funding awarded to these projects is £2,314,502. The centre has supported a further 17 projects already funded by HLF. Most projects have been driven by local communities and have used local experiences of the First World War as a starting point for research, sometimes with a focus on particular institutions, industries, organisations and individuals. Beyond this, most projects have also explored more diverse themes including: international experiences (particularly those of the British Empire), women's experiences, medical histories, wartime industries, transport, childhood, experiences of ethnic minorities, sport, naval history, citizenship (including Conscientious Objectors), religion, mental health, disability history, performance history and legacies of the war. The Gateways team has supported projects by: - Encouraging community groups to broaden their research by asking new questions, connecting with diverse communities and creating imaginative outputs - Assisting projects in locating specific academic expertise and advise on resources from across the centre's network of researchers - Providing letters of support for HLF applicants pledging specific support such as research skills and archive training and recruitment of speakers for project events Outputs have included exhibitions, performances, films, websites, apps, training opportunities and events. Members of the core Gateways team have supported 62 events organised by HLF projects, by delivering training, giving expert talks, hosting archive visits and being involved in open days and showcase events. The centre has organised 17 events to either provide guidance and support for community groups developing applications to the HLF or training, networking, showcasing opportunities for projects which have already been awarded funding. Testimonials from HLF-funded projects: "[Dr Sam Carroll] really helped topull together our funding bid and in that sense it really helped to have that expert eye I think having a Community Heritage Researcher in the form of Sam Carroll has really boosted the profile of all of our projectsto have an extra tier of support has really made a massive difference." "Dr Sam Carroll gave our group Oral History training [which was] excellent. Everyone who attended was more than satisfied, and all felt confident and eager to get going!" "Gateways really supported us well and what I particularly liked were the follow ups we received tracking our progress and offering resolution to any challenges we faced." "[The archive and research session] certainly benefited our project as volunteers came away enthused, empowered to use the archives, and with the skills to explore the collection at the Imperial War Museum further. Sam and her team have been proactive and flexible in the support they've offered, and have opened up their networks to us with great generosity." The centre's wide-ranging programme of events has also been central to engaging with communities and providing access to research expertise. Over the course of the project the centre has organised or collaborated on 155 events, including: - 28 workshops - 23 study days - 10 conferences - 9 development events with the HLF - 8 open days - 6 performances - 5 seminar series (total 36 events), - 5 lectures - 5 screenings - 4 showcase events - 3 panel discussion / roundtables - 3 project launch events - 2 Research Network meetings - 2 interviews - 2 lecture-concerts - 1 information day - 1 commemorative event Feedback from event participants: "so thankful to you and Mark for the extraordinary catalyst and inspuration [sic] provided by Gateways events." "Have attended several events, found them useful as have had access to professional historians and accurate research. They have also been useful for networking with other projects." 2. Enriching public understandings of the impact and legacies of the First World War through the co-production of research by academic researchers and the wider community Gateways has supported engagement between communities and researchers with regional, subject or specialist expertise in relevant areas through the development of an academic Research Network which has 78 members from 33 UK institutions. Members provide advice and guidance for community researchers and support for Gateways / community events. The Gateways Research Fund was launched in January 2015 and offered up to £15,000 (fEC) for members of the Research Network working with community partners on collaborative research projects. A total of £279,277.11 (fEC) was awarded to 20 collaborative research projects involving 38 researchers at 20 UK research institutions and 30 community partner organisations (including community groups, history groups, schools, local councils, museums, churches and a theatre). Outputs included: 30+ community engagement events, including training workshops, study days, school visits and presentations; nine exhibitions; six books; five academic articles; four booklets; four heritage trails / tours; four websites; three databases; two online blogs; two digital maps; two conferences; one film; one song; one teaching pack; one successful AHRC Follow-on Funding for Impact and Engagement application. Feedback from community partners: The project "has helped us and local residents toReduce social isolation - brought people of all ages together" "The partnershipproved to be a good example of collaborative working in that we were able to explore and share ways of working, e.g. research skills and exhibition skills." "Our volunteers have grown in terms of skills learnt and developed as well as soft outcomes in terms of increased confidence and self-esteem." During Phase 2 of the project, core team members have worked with groups of volunteer researchers on crowdsourcing projects: - Prof. Mark Connelly: Visiting and Revisiting the Western Front 1919-39 - exploring the history of battlefield tourism and pilgrimage during the 1920s and 1930s. - Dr Helen Brooks: Great War Theatre project - research into FWW plays and development of online database of FWW play scripts - Dr Brad Beaven: Mapping the Battle of Jutland - investigating the impact of the Battle of Jutland on British society through identifying and mapping the communities of the sailors who lost their lives in the conflict. Output: interactive online map. Feedback from participants in crowd sourcing projects: "[I found] the entire 'Gateways to the First World War' teamto be welcoming, supportive and genuinely interested in the various skills and knowledge that each volunteer brought to the table." "Definitely more confident in historical research Great support. Excellent communication methods." "The Gateways project built on the methodology of this [HLF project], reinforcing the skills that had been employed in the original task. The opportunity to interact with a wider number of researchers and to work with not only the University of Portsmouth but also the National Museum of the Royal Navy was certainly a valuable experience." 3. Developing partnerships and collaborations that lay the foundations for a sustainable legacy of relationships, practices, resources and structures for building dialogue between academic and public historical research. Gateways has established and extended strong partnerships with a range of local, national and international organisations. The centre collaborated on events/activities with 65 partners, including major organisations such as the British Library, Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, FWW Battlefield Tours programme, First World War Centenary Partnership, Heritage Lottery Fund, Imperial War Museums, National Maritime Museums, The National Archives and the Western Front Association, as well as a wide range of other museums, heritage organisations, archives and universities (see spreadsheet). The centre has worked with researchers and community partners from 21 countries (see spreadsheet), and has developed particularly close relationships with organisations in Belgium, including the In Flanders Fields Museum, the CWGC Visitor Centre in Ieper, the Friends of St George's Memorial Church and a number of Belgian universities. The connections between Belgian and UK experiences of WW1 have been highlighted by the Tracing the Belgian Refugees digital research project developed with additional funding from the AHRC. Gateways has sought to support schools and young people through its collaborations and partnerships. On a local level, this has involved 27 talks/workshops for schools and youth organisations. The team at Kent also supported two local schools projects developing exhibitions curated by students. Prof. Mark Connelly is a member of the Academic Advisory Committee of the Institute of Education's First World War Battlefields Tours programme and contributed to the organisation's travel pack and podcast series. Members of the team participated in the Department for Education's The Great War Debate series for secondary school students. Gateways collaborated with the University of Kent to support a First World War in Schools Commemoration Project (2015-2019) which aimed to engage students and teachers in the centenary of the FWW. The project engaged with 22 schools and 1586 participants. 95% of the schools worked with were non-selective and 55% of the students came from areas of 'high deprivation'. After participating in the project, 92% of students reported an increase in interest in the First World War and 75% in humanities subjects generally. The Gateways team supported the UK Government in planning and delivering major commemorative events during the centenary: In July 2017 Gateways supported DCMS commemorations of the Battle of Passchendaele, which included a multimedia event in the Market Square, Ieper, and a commemorative service at Tyne Cot Cemetery. Prof. Mark Connelly attended DCMS planning meetings and offered historical advice and he and Dr Helen Brooks co-wrote a performance for the event. The events were attended by over 4,000 descendants of soldiers who fought in the battle. In July 2016, Prof. Mark Connelly, Prof. Alison Fell, Dr Emma Hanna and Prof. Lucy Noakes supported the National Commemoration of the Centenary of the Battle of the Somme at Heaton Park in Manchester, organised by DCMS, Manchester City Council and HLF. The team advised on, and participated in, the Experience Field event, which involved 212 academics and voluntary contributors telling the stories of life on the home and western fronts in 1916. Dr Hanna advised on popular songs of the FWW for the Battle of the Somme Evening Concert, featuring a national choir of 300 school children and attended by 12,000 people. Feedback from DCMS on Gateways' support for Somme100: Members of the team "provided invaluable assistance both in helping us to shape our commemorative activity and also directly providing content. Gateways to the First World War has proved to be an invaluable resource. We couldn't have done it without them."

Collaborator Contribution	This project aimed to see the rediscovery of the 'national kitchen' - the British model of public feeding witnessed during the First World War - in time for its centenary (1917). It resourced the establishment of historically-informed pop-up 'national kitchens' in the North-West of England based in community kitchens and food banks run by social enterprise The Real Junk Food Project. It therefore sought to heighten historical awareness of public feeding in WW1 by re-creating the 'national kitchen' in today's sites of public feeding / food aid. Feedback from The Real Junk Food Project: This was a really worthwhile project and added a lot of value to our activities. The academic partner was supportive and collaborative; we felt like our voice was heard and that we shaped events. Our volunteers were all very positive about the events and we gained volunteers through this historical initiative.

Results and Impact	Conference paper delivered at musicology event 'A Great Divide?', University of Durham, 21 January 2017. My paper focused on the use of music in veterans' aural memories in the immediate post-war period. This stimulated a good amount of discussion with other academics but opened a more musicological perspective on my studies in this field, and as one of a handful of historians at the conference I was also able to share my own expertise. This conference was very good for networking and I met several other academics who later came to give papers at the Gateways' networking day on researching music 1914-18 that I organised in March 2017.

Results and Impact	The project held 'national kitchen' recreations across the English North West, the Midlands and Scotland with The Real Junk Food Project. The most important impact of this activity was using history to change contemporary attitudes around social eating. As the graph below illustrates (figure 5) , the vast majority of respondents were inspired by the event to the extent that they expressed a desire to participate in similar future events. The event thus provided a publicity and volunteering boost to the community partner. Further, it changed attitudes around the manner in which food poverty is dealt with, highlighting the limitations of the basic food bank model and the positive impacts of communal dining, which are detailed in the feedback comments above. All the respondents who had used a foodbank said that they would use a national kitchen model if they came across one in the future. The audience reported a change in opinion and behaviour and wellbeing due to the events.
