Everyday Lives in War: First World War Engagement Centre

Title	Basketry as Therapy
Description	The therapeutic aspect of making and creativity has long been recognised by physicians and psychiatrists. From the late-eighteenth century, basketry was taught in blind workshops and sanitoria, and during the First World War it was used to aid the rehabilitation of shell-shocked soldiers. It went on to become a flagship craft for occupational therapy in the mid-twentieth century. This film follows the rise and fall of basketry as a therapeutic and rehabilitative activity, exploring how and why it fell from favour, and considering the renewed interest today in basketry as a therapeutic tool in its widest sense and the role it can play in wellbeing.
Type Of Art	Film/Video/Animation
Year Produced	2017
Impact	This film provides a historical overview of basketmaking for therapeutic purposes, which again is becoming very relevant, as there is a renewed and growing interest in basketry as a therapeutic tool in its widest sense and the role it can play in wellbeing. As we are becoming more appreciative of PTSD and dementia-related issues, we feel that basketry will play an increasingly important role in enhancing the health and healing in patients and clients with occupational therapeutic needs.

Title	Beyond the Battlefields: Käthe Buchler's Photographs of Germany in the Great War (touring exhibition)
Description	Beyond the Battlefields was a touring exhibition co-organised by Departure Lounge, UHGalleries, Museum Für Photographie, Braunschweig, and the AHRC-funded First World War engagement centres at the University of Birmingham and the University of Hertfordshire. The exhibition presented the face of Germany during World War One seen through the eyes of the German photographer Käthe Buchler (1876-1930). Beyond the Battlefields was Buchler's first exhibition in the UK and brought together the largest selection of her photographs ever exhibited outside Germany. The exhibition showcased a unique series of images of everyday life before, during and after the war. Her photographs are part of the collection of the Museum of Photography in Braunschweig - where she lived and worked. Different picture cycles examines the care of orphaned children and wounded troops, Germans at work and at leisure - including a fascinating series made late in the war entitled 'Women in Men's Jobs'. Buchler presents the dislocations of war along with striking moments of human warmth, in so doing she offers us a fascinating window on the preoccupations of ordinary Germans, living and working hundreds of miles away from the fighting. Buchler was an early adopter of the 'Autochrome' process (the world's first colour photographic process) and colour imagery starts to appear in her work as early as 1913. The exhibition at UH Galleries is the final leg of a UK touring exhibition which has visited The University of Birmingham and Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, as well as the Grosvenor Gallery at Manchester Metropolitan University. Buchler's photographs offer fascinating comparisons with images and memorabilia from the same period in Britain. They pose searching questions about the class and status structures of Wilhelmine German society and the role of women as Europe's dynastic empires were gave way to revolution, chaos and the Second World War.

Title	Infographic - created at the AHRC WW1 'Legacies of the First World War' festival of research in London, 7 November
Description	At the concluding AHRC WW1 Centres' Legacies of the First World War festival - on the theme of: 'Communities, Commemoration, Collaboration: Shaping our Futures through Sharing our Past' - held in London on 7 November 2019, we shared outputs and learnings from the WW1 Engagement Centres who have supported a wide range of community engagement activities across the UK since 2014, connecting academic and public histories of the First World War as part of the commemoration of the War's centenary. A series of panel discussions, workshops, films and performances provided an informal and friendly forum for stimulating conversations around co-produced knowledge and critical responses to history and heritage. The discussions and proceedings of the day were actively and creatively captured by way of an amazing infographic by graphic artist Federica Ciotti.

Title	Memory and Remembrance: Mary Crabb
Description	This is a film from our Basketry Then and Now project. Each film emanating from this project captures the acts of making, researching, reflecting and communicating the history, practice and legacy of basketmaking and willow growing during the First World War. 'Memory and Remembrance' is a short film about the work of basketmaker and maths teacher, Mary Crabb. The film charts the beginning of Mary's research into First World War shell baskets - in particular an example of a shell basket held in the collection at the Museum of English Rural Life at the University of Reading, and follows with exploring the making of a replica. Mary also shares her own creative work, using basketry and textile techniques, focussing on the facts and figures relating to Cecil, her grandmother's boyfriend killed in France in 1916.
Type Of Art	Film/Video/Animation
Year Produced	2017
Impact	'Memory and Remembrance' has captured the attention and hearts of many of our Centre followers - and is often used at various WW1-related events as an example of a wonderful short film combining a personal story with research into a WW1 object, to which the subject of the film (Mary Crabb) has then applied her personal interest of numbers and professional experience of being a maths teacher, producing a unique set of basket-weaving artwork. Audiences who have watched the film, and who have participated in a Questions & Answers session afterwards, have expressed both a sense of wonderment at the personal story and newly acquired knowledge of the importance of WW1 basketry.

Title	Re-staging of WW1 play 'A Well-Remembered Voice' (J.M. Barrie)
Description	Dr Andrew Maunder of the Everyday Lives in War Centre worked with scripts submitted to the Lord Chamberlain's office during the First World War, when he uncovered an archive of plays not performed since the time of the war. One play stood out more than the others: 'A Well-Remembered Voice' by J.M. Barrie (author of Peter Pan), which deals with one of the most striking developments of war-time life: the growth of spiritualism. Dr Maunder decided to produce and stage the play (unseen since its premiere in 1918), and a tour got underway in autumn 2016.
Type Of Art	Performance (Music, Dance, Drama, etc)
Year Produced	2016
Impact	The staging of this performance 100 years after it was first staged provided audiences with a rare insight into how those involved in the creative world of entertainment sought to reflect the experiences of war in their art. The audience often reported change in views and opinions as a result of this new insight gained through the performances.

Title	Re-staging of WW1 play 'Jane Clegg' (St John Ervine)
Description	As part of the Everyday Lives in War's interest in First World War theatre, our Centre team member Dr Andrew Maunder worked with the Finborough Theatre, London, on a production of St John Ervine's play Jane Clegg. First produced in 1913 at Manchester's famous repertory theatre run by Annie Horniman, the play was very popular and was performed throughout the War in theatres all over Britain. It subsequently opened in New York in 1920 and returned to the West End in 1922 and 1929. Written at the height of the campaign for women's suffrage (St John Ervine was standing next to Emily Davison on Derby Day 1913 when she ran in front of the King's horse), Jane Clegg was compared to Ibsen's A Doll's House in its depiction of a woman trapped in an unsatisfactory marriage. This performance was the first London production for over 75 years.

Impact	The staging of this performance 75 years after it was first staged provided audiences with a rare insight into how those involved in the creative world of entertainment sought to reflect war-time related experiences in their art. This particular play was written a the height of women's fight for suffrage, and depicted a woman trapped in a love-less marriage, whose husband was unfaithful and also an embezzler. The continued popularity of the play during 1914-18 suggests that Jane Clegg's dilemma continued to strike a chord with audiences during the war-time years - and also appeared to do so with present-day audiences, as its message still seemed to resonate with the current play-goers and connect them with a century-old story. The press reviews reflected on this performance as "a sensitive production" (The Stage); "a terrific build-up of tension" (London Pub Theatres); "richly created... gripping and carefully controlled" (The Reviews Hub); and "still relevant, terrifically watchable and ultimately poignant drama" (ActDrop).

Title	Reflections on the Kaethe Buchler exhbition opening event at UH Galleries, Hatfield - March 2018
Description	This is a brief but very ambient little (2-minute) film set to lovely music, showing some memorable footage of the Everyday Lives in War Centre's opening of the Kaethe Buchler exhibition at the University of Hertfordshire in March 2018. We advise you to set the volume on your device a bit higher, since the music really enhances the film experience and makes for a wonderful glimpse into an extraordinary day, when the Buchler exhibition launched in our gallery in Hatfield, Hertfordshire.
Type Of Art	Film/Video/Animation
Year Produced	2018
Impact	This was meant to be a 'prototype' film to set the scene, lighting and also some extra footage 'fodder' for the AHRC-commissioned film presented by Dan Snow. However, it became a wonderful standalone, 'haiku'-length film in its own right - providing a testament to a lovely and very moving day at the Kaethe Buchler exhibition launch event. People from all walks of life, from all national and international backgrounds, came together to celebrate the amazing and very personal photographs of a female photographer in Germany during the Great War. Connections were made and new friendships forged, and people came away inspired and with new project ideas around the unique Buchler photographs.

Title	School Children's Tapestry on 'Heritage, Community and Opportunity' - created at the AHRC WW1 Centres' Cardiff Policy Breakfast, 5 July
Description	Our Cardiff-based policy breakfast on 5 July 2019 was set in the Cardiff West Community High School and was based on the theme of 'Heritage, Community and Opportunity'. Facilitated by a local artist, the event brought together pupils, parents and policy makers - including the Welsh First Minister, Mr Mark Drakeford - who engaged in an equal and mutually balanced debate by exploring a wide range of options for widening participation and advancement to higher education through heritage. This was an event where the children took charge and even chaired the discussions. They expressed their own views on heritage, community and opportunity by expressing their wishes for their own futures by way of carving rubber stamps and creating a dynamic tapestry. The following blog provides an excellent summary of the day: https://www.pec.ac.uk/blog/heritage-community-and-opportunity-a-lesson-on-how-to-understand-the-value-of-culture

Title	Staging of never previously performed WW1 play "But It Still Goes On" by Robert Graves
Description	"Too Racey For Its Time!" That was the general consensus regarding the First World War play, "But It Still Goes On" by Robert Graves (author of "I, Claudius"), which explores themes of adultery, homosexuality, lesbianism, gender politics, casual sex, and inter-generational conflict -- with a surreal dark twist. Dr Andrew Maunder of the Everyday Lives in War Centre has produced and breathed new life into this recently rediscovered, never previously performed play. The play had its long overdue world premiere at the Finborough Theatre in London on 10 July for a 4-week run. More information can be found on Page 6 of the following Centre Newsletter: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hcZAj-ODGt2kNA5nieB5VU4c64AFWtju/view
Type Of Art	Performance (Music, Dance, Drama, etc)
Year Produced	2018
Impact	The staging of this never before seen WW1 play provided audiences with a rare insight into some very sensitive and 'taboo' subjects of its time (which are still relevant and subject to debate today). The play and its excellent cast received raving reviews - including: "Fascinating" - The Times; "Beautifully played by Sophie Ward and Victor Gardener" - The Stage; "An intriguing rediscover... Boldly ahead of what was publicly acceptable then" - British Theatre Guide; "Something of a coup for the tiny Finborough Theatre" - Broadway World; "The performances are tip top" - Curtain Up; "Worthy addition to plays about the war and most importantly, about interwar homosexuality" - Reviews Hub; ????? "Alan Cox delivers a powerful performance... Sophie Ward is a tour de force" - Diva; ???? "A strong committed cast... an entertaining evening" - The Spy in the Stalls; ???? "Engaging... competing... amusing..." - London Pub Theatres; ???? " The cast is quite extraordinary... This play oozes class." - Close-up Culture

Title	The Sopwell Camel Seat
Description	This is a film from our Basketry Then and Now project. Each film emanating from this project captures the acts of making, researching, reflecting and communicating the history, practice and legacy of basketmaking and willow growing during the First World War. First World War aircraft were extremely flimsy and it was essential to save weight wherever possible to prevent the planes breaking up in flight. To this end, basketwork seats were used as they were both light and strong. This short film follows Tony Dyer, a flight test engineer, as he builds a replica First World War Sopwith Camel aeroplane cockpit to house an original compass which belonged to his grandfather. Tony is joined by Tim Palmer, who makes a seat for him, and Bunty Ball who explains more about basketwork aeroplane seats.
Type Of Art	Film/Video/Animation
Year Produced	2017
Impact	The Basketry Then & Now project's series of films are often used at outreach events and WW1 workshops. The films have a particular resonance with people who are interested in and still practising the techniques and practices of old-age crafts. Audiences who have watched the film, and who have participated in a Questions & Answers session afterwards, have expressed both a sense of surprise and a renewed respect for basketry, when realising its huge importance in WW1, both as a transport material (e.g. for livestock, food and also transporting artillery shells to the front) and also for other equipment and vehicles (as in this case, an aeroplane seat), etc.

Title	Willow Connections: Exploring Castle Donington
Description	This is a film from our Basketry Then and Now project. Each film emanating from this project captures the acts of making, researching, reflecting and communicating the history, practice and legacy of basketmaking and willow growing during the First World War. The Trent Valley in the East Midlands was once one of the most important areas for willow growing and basketmaking in the country. The parish of Castle Donington, on the border of Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, was particularly well-known and in the 1890s had as many as 200 basketmakers, labourers and apprentices. In this film, local basketmaker Maggie Cooper takes us on a tour of notable sites around the village connected with its willow growing and basketmaking history, and makes a typical Castle Donington basket.

This particular film features Castle Donington and its long tradition with willow growing and basketmaking. The people of Castle Donington and the Trent Valley in the East Midlands have a deep appreciation for the past and a strong connection with the region's basketmaking history, and this film allowed this very special history and legacy of the region to reach a larger and more far-away audience. The film was enhanced by a weekend celebration of the Castle Donington area, organised by our Basketry Then & Now project team, according to the following programme: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W_6BNj-97_31mGDcplWGOlC15Gcx4hE5/view.

Title	Willow Regrowth in Spring
Description	A short time-lapse film showing the regrowth of willow in spring. It was shot over seven weeks between March and May 2017 at Rothamsted Research in Hertfordshire, home to the National Willow Collection. After coppicing in winter, the cut willow stools (stumps) re-sprout to produce multiple shoots. This vigorous regrowth allows biomass to rapidly accumulate. Depending on the willow species used, the stems can be used for basketmaking or as a source of renewable carbon for bioenergy and biofuels. The ability of the stools to regrow from repeated harvests for up to 25 years with minimal input makes them of interest due to their potential to reduce carbon emissions.
Type Of Art	Film/Video/Animation
Year Produced	2017
Impact	The more notable impacts may still be to come, since willow may be a potential source of renewable carbon for bioenergy and biofuels. The ability of the stools to regrow from repeated harvests for up to 25 years with minimal input makes them of interest due to their potential to reduce carbon emissions.

Title	Willow Then and Now: Exploring Rothamsted Research
Description	The National Willow Collection was established at Long Ashton Research Station in Somerset in 1923 after willow was identified as a strategic resource following the First World War. The collection moved to Rothamsted Research in 2002 and today contains over 100 pure species of willows (Salix spp.). In this film, scientists from Rothamsted Research take us on a tour of the collection and introduce us to some of their research into willow, including the growing of willow as a source of bioenergy, the molecular breeding and genetics that underpin the research, and how the research has uncovered exciting chemical diversity within the species. For more information please visit https://www.rothamsted.ac.uk/uk-national-willow-collection
Type Of Art	Film/Video/Animation
Year Produced	2017
Impact	Rothamsted Research, one of our close collaborative partners, is the home to the National Willow Collection. There is some very exciting (and to many unexpected) research being carried out on the willow, which holds great potential for future bio-economical and bio-pharmacological solutions - the former for the provision of a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly energy solution; and the latter for natural medications to combat cancer and dementia, respectively.

Description	This Engagement Centre concluded its second phase of funding on 31 December 2019. From 2014, the Centre developed iniatives and relationships; all researchers funded by the centre worked with community groups, heritage organisations and national bodies, including the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Centre funded an additional 14 collaborative projects to co-produce research on topics linked to the Everyday Lives in War theme. In some cases collaboration with community groups was long-standing, with new projects emerging. (For example, Moore's work with the St Albans Home Front project took on two new themes in 2018: 'anonymous' women and a call for researchers to record their own involvement in the centenary. During Phase 1 Duffett arranged an exhibition in Colchester; in Phase 2 this has led to further archival research and plans for a film; the project co-produced with Age Exchange in 2016 led in 2020 to a new project to mark the centenary of the charity Combat Stress). Each year we extended our geographical reach and made contact with groups new to the Engagement Centre scheme. Overall the Centre shifted its focus in the final year to stimulate and support community interest in the aftermath of the war and international perspectives. We continued with both in-depth research collaboration and light-touch involvement: e.g. answering queries, giving a talk, providing research materials and introductions. We remained committed to processes of: building community confidence in research skills; challenging familiar narratives of the war; valuing the distinctive knowledge contribution from community projects; and connecting academic and public research. In addition to Researchfish, these activities are detailed on the ELIW website and in the Final Report submitted to the AHRC in April 2020. The team has been committed to outreach, bringing the theme of everyday life to people who may not have previously expressed an interest in the centenary. During the final year, the Centre delivered workshops around specific research topics, including food and theatre. A major collaboration with the Voices of War and Peace Centre led to the touring exhibition, Beyond the Battlefields: Käthe Buchler's Photographs of Germany in the Great War. These images, seen for the first time in the UK, opened new perspectives to audiences in Birmingham, Manchester and Hatfield (Oct 2017-May 2018). Again the Centres worked to engage passing audiences (with a large footfall at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) and also create opportunities for detailed discussion at community-focused workshops (e.g. on women and photography). The exhibition continued to generate follow-on activities in 2018 and 2019 (including the book on Buchler and a workshop on FWW Food in Dusseldorf). Members of the ELIW team participated in various projects to evaluate the FWW centenary programme led by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport; Heritage Lottery Fund; Imperial War Museum. These discussions have a significant policy dimension with implications for how the UK marks future anniversaries and supports community heritage. These themes were also evident when in 2019 the Everyday Lives in War Centre collaborated with the Voices Centre in Birmingham to deliver, on behalf of the Engagement Centres, a programme of 4 Community Research Festivals, 4 Policy Breakfasts and 1 Policy Workshop in venues across the UK (Birmingham, Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow and London). In addition to the final report submiited to the AHRC in April 2020, the PI worked with the PI of the Voices Centre (Prof Ian Grosvenor) to develop a summative publication: Making histories, Sharing Histories: putting university-community collaboration into practice. It sets out the principles of our collaborative work and offers practical advice on 10 activities. In 2021, the two centres collaborated again with community activists, academics, and independent scholars to c0-produce a series of four open access downloadable legacy-themed e-books https://everydaylivesinwar.herts.ac.uk/beyond-commemoration-community-collaboration-and-legacies-of-the-first-world-war/

Organisation	Northampton General Hospital, Northampton
Department	History Archive
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Hospitals
PI Contribution	In-depth archival research into the wider history of the everyday experience of health and medical welfare in early twentieth century Northampton over a long period of time; complete survey of Historical Archive's key record series and development of indices and account of the formation of the document and internal logic of the document; mapping of the historical geography of health ; planning and organisation of pop-up events to display aspects of the research; planning, running and hosting of focus groups to discuss the research and evaluation which areas would be most effective within public history settings; development and authoring of digital texts and partner website; designing and leading workshop with trainee teachers on disability history teaching in the English curriculum. Update as of February 2020: As above: Partnership ceased to be active in 2018, but copies of transcription and digital copies of the key NCCF document to archive for their reference. Project lead also completed a separate list (additional to the project) tracing some of the other 'health visitor'/charity workers listed in the 1880-1916 volume, which is still undergoing periodic update as more information is found.
Collaborator Contribution	Facilitating the archival access of the project lead; allowing photography of documents for research purposes; scanning some images for potential use in the project; in-depth knowledge of archival sources; sharing their extensive prior knowledge and experience from earlier history of medicine public history projects; suggesting potential avenues of research and areas which may be of interest to the general public to put in the displays. Update as of February 2020: Research project partnership ceased to be active 2018.
Impact	- Evaluation of the contents of the archive's key record series, and indexing of the earliest entries - 18-19th September 2017: 'Blurring the Boundaries?: Definition and the Potential for Set Narratives in the Public Social History of Medicine, Health and Disability'. Research paper on public engagement in history of medicine projects. Given at 'Patient Voices: Historical and Ethical Engagement with Patient Experiences of Healthcare, 1850-1948' (University of Oxford): an interdisciplinary policy-focused symposium. - 28th & 30th November 2017: Focus groups and Casual Visitor feedback on potential displays designs and content, Park campus, University of Northampton. - 1st December 2017: East Anglican Paediatric Orthopaedic Group Winter Meeting, : around 30-40 delegates on the History of Medicine. The meeting was granted CPF accreditation by BOA for 3 points. Invited by event organiser, Dr Rajan Natarajan - Trauma and Orthopaedics, Northampton General Hospital. - Design and delivery of a replicable and scalable teaching workshop on disability history as an aspect of diversity in History teaching, designed for History specialist Initial Teacher Training students at the University of Northampton (run for the first time 6th December 2017 within one of their scheduled seminars). It is hoped that further outcomes for this workshop can be developed through partnership with the Education team within the University of Northampton (multi-disciplinary: museum and heritage studies, Education Studies, and History) - Development of pop-up display on health and medicine in early 20th century Northampton - displayed in different versions and formats in the Carnegie Room Northampton Library (9th and 10th December) and Abington Park Museum entrance 10th December (multi-disciplinary: museum and heritage studies and History) - Development of pop-up display 'Leather in Medicine' resulting in developing relationship with the National Leather Collection - displayed 13th and 18th December 2017 (multi-disciplinary: museum and heritage studies and History) It is not possible to fully judge the impact of this project even at this stage, as the project was focused on completion of the archival research which is to be used as the basis for public history/heritage events, outcomes and research outputs over a longer period of time, thus creating a legacy (see question below). Update as of February 2020: Invited public outreach lecture: Abington Museum, Northampton, 'Health and Medicine in Northampton during the First World War' - Friday 17th August 2018 As part of this lecture (designed, researched and delivered by the project lead), the project lead asked for the use of the museum's History of Medicine Schools loan box, which the museum put out along with their First World War commemoration box (the contents of which is mostly focused on the military experience of 1914-18, specifically more Western Front experience). Invited public outreach lecture: Kettering Alfred East Art Gallery, Kettering, 'Health and Medicine in Northamptonshire during the First World War' - Friday 15th February 2019 It is notable that the project lead was approached to do one of these papers by the second museum precisely as the research/materials offered did not have a First World War military focus: the museum was interested in a talk specifically due to its hidden histories and civilian focus. The museum had seen the earlier talk advertised. This confirms the statement above that the long-term legacy of this project is more likely to be seen in over the longer term and in increments. This paper was developed based on the methodology used in the project, and instead focused on the town of Kettering, where the paper was to be held. On each occasion, the project lead requested audience feedback and audience numbers data from the organiser to help determine legacy, but unfortunately the data was not forthcoming. Based on an estimate by the project lead, both talks held over 30-40+ people. A planned research website on the medical history of the town, and the historical experiences of people with disabilities in the late 19th century, by the project lead was delayed due to unforeseen unavoidable circumstances. It is anticipated that this website will become available in the next year or so. It is hoped to include more on mental health as part of it drawing on the project lead's other research interests. Due to changes in the ITT curriculum at Northampton, it has not been possible to repeat the disability history training workshop as of yet. It is hoped that this will be possible in the future. It is hoped that further outputs will be resumed over the next two coming years.

Results and Impact	March 2018 marked the 100th anniversary of Germany's final offensive of World War I, which sent 74 divisions of German troops against the Allied lines over a 60-mile front, preceded by a five-hour artillery barrage of a million shells. More than half a million men died on both sides. The days up to, and including, the start of the battle are portrayed in the recent film adaptation of R.C. Sherriff's classic World War I play, 'Journey's End' - which premiered in 1928. A century on from the events portrayed in 'Journey's End', Dr Andrew Maunder was commissioned by The Conversation to provide a reflective piece on the WW1 play in an accessible form for the media and general public, titled: "A century on from the events it portrayed, Journey's End is a reminder that war is hell - whoever you are".

Description	'Barnwell at War' - 40-page booklet (reported by Michael Hrebeniak)
Form Of Engagement Activity	A magazine, newsletter or online publication
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	International
Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	A 40-page booklet illuminating the everyday lives of the working-class people of east Cambridge during World War I was published on the day before the centenary of the armistice in November 2018. 'Barnwell at War' is the result of research by 100 Years of Coconuts, the heritage arm of Cambridge United supporters' trust CFU, in collaboration with Wolfson College. Coconuts researchers worked with Wolfson, the University of Hertfordshire's Everyday Lives in War engagement centre and the University of Central Lancashire to examine the lives of those left behind in working-class east Cambridge when its men marched off to war. They uncovered the vital roles played by women in the war effort, how families coped in the face of food shortages, hardship and the threat of aerial bombardment, and how Barnwell rolled its sleeves up and did its bit. Accounts of the World War I experiences of Cambridge University undergraduates and dons are not difficult to unearth but narratives of the Barnwell working class, many of whom served their Varsity masters before signing up, have been all but ignored. Barnwell at War reinstates the cultural memory of an area of Cambridge beyond the touristic gaze, and indicates a pattern of life for the majority of the UK population through an era of unparalleled trauma.Researchers also sought to find out what became of the young men who played for the newly formed Abbey United Football Club in 1913/14, shortly before the outbreak of hostilities. They came very close to identifying those players; work in this area continues, with a possible breakthrough imminent. Published by Lovely Bunch, Coconuts' publishing operation, at £4.99, Barnwell at War is available through the CFU online store: cambridgefansunited.org/store. It will soon also be available through Cambridge booksellers and other outlets in the city. The attractively designed booklet is illustrated by many seldom-seen photographs and features an introduction by Michael Hrebeniak, Coconuts committee member and Director of Studies in English at Wolfson.

Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	The festival took place 27-28.04.19 but linked events began a year earlier and formally ran until June 2019. The festival engaged: activists; members of the community locally and around the UK; artists; actors; musicians; puppeers; playrights; film-makers; former soldiers; peace campaigners; religious groups; singers; and academics. It involved: talks; exhibitions (including long-running art exhibitions at MShed, Bristol Cathedral, Bristol Central Library and the Crypt of St. John on the Wall); a puppet walk; a museum tour; print-making; stalls; community group networking; film showings; musical and theatrical performances. The festivaI looked at hidden histories, war resistance, commemoration and war today, and the global nature of the war, including India, Africa, the West Indies, colonialism, recruitment and mutinies. Talks also considered Germany, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand as well as the UK. ACTIVITY The main activity was a two-day weekend festival in April 2019. However, associated activities began up to a year before and formally continued until June 2019. During the festival weekend daytime activities focused on the MShed, which is part of Bristol Museums. A wide range of activities were organised, including things of interest to all ages. On the Saturday evening the event moved to the Southbank Community Centre. The festivaI looked at hidden histories, war resistance, commemoration and war today. It highlighted the global nature of the FWW, including focusing on India, Africa, the West Indies, colonialism, recruitment and mutinies. Talks also considered Germany, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand as well as the UK. However, at its centre - and its starting point - were British conscientious objectors to military service during the FWW. The festival engaged: activists; members of the community locally and around the UK; artists; actors; musicians; puppeers; playrights; film-makers; former soldiers; peace campaigners; religious groups; singers; and academics. It involved: talks; exhibitions (including long-running art exhibitions/installations at MShed, Bristol Cathedral, Bristol Central Library and the Crypt of St. John on the Wall); a puppet walk; a puppet show; an interview with 'Monicled Mutineer' actor (and Dr Who), Paul McGann; a museum tour; print-making; stalls; community group networking; film showings; musical and theatrical performances. Beyond the festival weekend, four art exhibitions/installations ran for different overlapping periods from March-June 2019. ? In MShed 'The Poppy Retake', proposed by Virtual Migrants, took the form of video art by Kooj Chuhan weaving together colonial narratives, spirits from the dead and video war games. It encouraged the audience to confront connections with wars as recruitment and their impacts on people who had been colonised. Alongside this the documentary exhibition 'From the Shadows of War and Empire' by Southern Voices explored how European powers brought colonies into World War I, took resources from these countries and took the war to 'fronts' outside Europe. ? In the Cathedral 'The Art and Nature of Conscience', curated by festival lead Lois Bibbings of Remembering the Real World War 1 and supported by the University of Bristol, explored World War 1 conscientious objectors' thinking about conscience alongside their words and artwork. It also show-cased contemporary artists' reflections on these men, including a new piece by Stephen Raw, 'The Absolutist's Position'. ? In the Library 'A Colour Chart for Killing', put together by Jude Hutchen as part of the Artist-Activist Research Group (Aaargh!), aimed to provoke reflection on the little acknowledge fact that the UK has engaged in almost continuous warfare ever since WW1, 'The War to End All Wars'. The colour chart series explored the relationship between 'first world' domestic culture, epitomised by the aspirations of DIY home improvement, and the darker shadows of the UK's counter terrorism measures, military economy and oversees wars. ? In the Crypt Al Johnson's 'The Lost Files' installation explored the experience of individuals who for moral, religious or political reasons refused to participate in World War One. The installation originated from the work of the Haringey First World War Peace Forum and utilised a variety of media: sculpture; found objects; sound; archive material and photographs. Framed on the walls are images representing the vast literature generated by the war resisters, to encourage, support and inform each other for the duration of the war and beyond, and a soundtrack brought to life the names and details of COs - a special soundtrack was made for its visit to Bristol reflecting local CO's stories. Leading up to the festival there were also community print-making workshops (with Cato Press print collective), and puppet walk workshops, focusing on local history research and puppetry, (with puppetry company Otherstory and local group Remembering the Real World War 1). Prior to 2019 and to accompany the festival, workshops, talks and other activities led up to the main weekend. For example, representatives went to Leeds, Dublin, Dundee and Cardiff, and spoke and performed at CND's annual conference in 2018. PURPOSE To explore exclusion from and lack of engagement with First World War (FWW) commemoration. In addition, in bringing together the themes of war resistance, peace-building and alienation from commemoration, we were listening and responding to issues linked explicitly and repeatedly by a distinct set of community groups and researchers. Glasgow cross-Centre Showcase discussions (23.11.2017) were typical, with participants spontaneously expressing a desire to meet others with similar interests in conscientious objectors, while describing their own projects working outside dominant FWW narratives and national centenary activities. So the festival emerged organically through community research projects and cross-centre events as a FWW legacy that communities wanted to investigate further and understand. And, in planning the festival, it soon became clear that these sentiments were shared far beyond those who had already engaged with the Centres, including by the lead community group in Bristol, Remembering the Real World War 1. OUTCOMES/IMPACTS There are multiple outcomes/impacts: • Requests about further participation and involvement continue - for example, a talk invitation for Conscience@: Taxes for Peace not War (July 2019). More significantly, Lois Bibbings, the academic lead at Bristol, was invited to give the annual city of Ypres Peace Lecture for Armistice 2019 (see https://vlaamsvredesinstituut.eu/en/hearing/elfnovember-lecture-by-lois-s-bibbings/) • Plans for future activity - bringing together a very diverse group of people has built the basis for new collaborations and future activities - for example, a proposal for a graphic novel project is currently being worked on by some involved in the festival (centering around the Bristol Remembering the Real World War 1 group) and groups that would never have met are now in conversation (the Shot at Dawn Campaign and Veterans for Peace - and those researching conscientious objectors around the country have established new and closer links, which was one of the festival's initial purposes). • Comment sheets and film interviews demonstrate emotional and attitudinal responses to the festival and knowledge gained or views changed as well as suggestions for displaying it elsewhere - eg being moved by an exhibition, or learning things about the FWW and Bristol on the puppet walk. In addition, people reported learning for the first time about the global nature of the war. Comments include: ? 'It has changed my view of WW1! I realise now that the war was far-reaching, affecting the lives of people or continents far removed from the frontline, in ways I never imagined. The role of women in the conflict and in campaigning for it's cessation was also new to me.' ? A wonderful festival.

Results and Impact	This was a one-day research workshop based at the Portsmouth Temple of Spiritualism. The Temple's executive committee members opened their archive for the day. Local Spiritualists and the general public were given a rare opportunity to examine relevant material about Spiritualism in the First World War. University of Portsmouth historians were on hand to provide some structure to the investigation, suggesting possible key word terms, areas of interest, and ways of organising the material between the people in attendance. Working as a team, sharing findings and ideas as we went, the gathered researchers explored a broad range of evidence. Of particular interest were the Temple's wartime minute books, key Spiritualist publications of the period such as Oliver Lodge's book Raymond, and the Temple's extensive holdings of Light, a Spiritualist magazine that ran throughout the period of the war. The event was well attended by members of the Temple and the local Spiritualist community, but we were also joined by a postgraduate student and a member of the public who participated purely out of interest.

Results and Impact	The exhibition was the material cultural manifestation of the following research project. The opening event featured an introduction & attracted more than 60 people, including the desecndents of one of the men commemorated in the accompanying booklet. The Museum reported that the exhitibition was well attended over the six weeks, & it plans further forms of audience-engagement to build on the specific issues broached "Accounts of the World War I experiences of Cambridge undergraduates and dons are not difficult to find. This is not the case with narratives of the Cambridge working class, many of whom served their Varsity masters before marching off to the front. The experiences of those who stayed at home in eastern Cambridge have hitherto been all but ignored. Researchers from 100 Years of Coconuts have collaborated with Wolfson College and the AHRC-funded University of Hertfordshire's Everyday Lives in War centre to address this. The result, Barnwell at War - in exhibition and booklet form - reinstates the cultural memory of an area of Cambridge beyond the touristic gaze, and indicates the pattern of life of the majority of the UK population through an era of unparalleled trauma."

Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	After 3 years of extensive research, a Heritage Lottery Grant and the support of the Parish Community, Kingsbury Time Travellers held their Centenary Commemorative Event in the New Community Centre on the last Sunday of September 2018. We were delighted to have a presence at the event by lending the Kingsbury Time Travellers our very popular basketry pop-up exhibition. Many of the men who left the Parish in 1914 for the War had been involved in the withy business, as did their parents. The main area of growing was Westmoor. Today only a small area is maintained and used in community withy workshops, workshops with the local primary school and for the annual May Festival. At the Commemorative event were willow crosses and hurdles made by primary school pupils. A central, and focal point was - The Woman Of Westmoor. Created by Maurice Fawcett from the Parish, the sculpture was interlaced with sunflowers grown in the Parish, hung with Memory Cards, and with copies of this poem by Elanor Farjeon written in the Spring of 1917. The poem was also inscribed onto brass plates which along with a relief model of the Parish has gone into our 6 public-access buildings. The poem - with its reference to apples (Kingsbury Episcopi is a major national producer of cider apples) -The Woman of Westmoor, created from willow, was a representation of all the women of the Parish during WW1. The willow tradition is part of the cultural and historical traditions of the Parish. After the event and in response to a general request for feedback on the Centre's support, Mr Adrian Wills of Kingsbury Time Travellers provided us with the following: "We would be an example of how a project operating at a national level can reach and connect with a small organisation working within a Parish of a few square miles with a population of a bout 1200. Prior to getting connected with the Project and before our work on WW1 began we had developed a blueprint for our work which embraced the major economic / social contexts of the Parish. One of these contexts was its withy business and legacy. We had made films of withy families telling there history and we had also archived old photographs from these families. This is on going and we continue the work. The Parish has a culture which celebrates and re-connects with this heritage through our May Festival which always includes community Withy Workshops for this annual. We had also been carrying out our leaver's gift to the Year 6 Primary School which is a hands on Withy Day on a local ex Withy Farm which has everything top carry out the business as if the workforce had just downed tools. This work had allowed us to connect with Coates Willow and Jonathan & Nicola Coate whose family had good and historic connections with the Parish. So what the Basketry Then & Now Project has done is to allow us to show to those who support our work in the Parish that we are part of this amazing story and legacy / connection and it is of value and relevance. It has helped to legitimise our work and helped to further foster the opening of minds, cupboards and attics and so make connections with a larger picture and framework. The fact of me being able to talk about these connections to such national / educational projects is forceful especially when understated. Your work help us thus to contextualise and offer 'our' bit of the jigsaw; to legitimise as relevant our work as being of value to this willow heritage as well as our current practice. In our final HLF Project the Woman of Westmoor not only helped to symbolise our willow heritage but also our current practice.

It explores the various roles that music and the arts play in reflecting, representing, critiquing and commemorating conflict and post-war reconstruction. There are two publication projects in train, coming directly out of the project: one is the Conference proceedings from the Paris-Manchester conference, which took place in early March 2018; the other is a special issue of Nineteenth­Century Music Review, which is dedicated to Music in Manchester during WWI.

Results and Impact	Our World War One Engagement project 'British Ex-Service Students and the Rebuilding of Europe, 1919-1926' focuses on the legacies of the First World War and places particular emphasis on the role of student activism in the 1920s. In doing so, it directly connects with the early history of our community partner, the National Union of Students (NUS), which was founded in 1922. Through a series of contributions, the project's Research Associate Sarah Hellawell has substantially expanded the information that is available on the NUS website about the organisation's early years. The section 'Our History' features three articles/ blog posts produced by Dr Hellawell: - 'World War One and the Foundation of NUS' - 'NUS and Internationalism in the 1920s' - 'Key Figures in the Early NUS' Two supplementary URLs to the one listed below are: 1) https://www.nus.org.uk/en/who-we-are/our-history/nus-and-internationalism-in-the-1920s/ 2) https://www.nus.org.uk/en/who-we-are/our-history/key-figures-in-the-early-nus/

Results and Impact	28th & 30th November 2017. Potential display designs, information and historical themes were displayed in an enclosed (yet publically open) area of the University campus to gauge general public interest in First World War, and the history of health, and of the local Northampton community's experience of the First World War Home Front. Visitors were able to provide verbal comments to the organiser, or placed post-it notes into comments folders. Of these visitors, two more focused groups of visitors were recruited to participate in a longer discussion and survey about their interests to capture their views and evaluate understandings of local history and heritage displays. focus groups were formed, made up of visitors with a more sustained interest and who were willing to complete a longer survey to capture their views. Seventeen fully completed evaluations where selected, along with verbal comments, and written shorter feedback on post-it notes. All comments were generally positive and demonstrated a general increased interest in related subject areas. The results have also influenced later development within the project, confirming a very general community preference for military-linked histories of the First World War, but also an interest in the lives of ordinary people. It particularly highlighted the expectation and preference for online materials over other formats.

Results and Impact	This workshop was part of a series of project workshops that explore the views of Irish communities in different parts of Britain and Ireland. It followed a similar pattern to that of previous ones - providing a space for local communities to share their family stories and to reflect on programmes of commemoration of recent years. This time, Dr Ciara Meehan was joined by project colleagues from the Everyday Lives in War sister centre, Living Legacies, 1914-1918, based in Northern Ireland: Johanne Devlin Trew (Ulster University) and Kurt Taroff (Queen's University, Belfast). Johanne and Kurt count drama and story-telling amongst their areas of expertise, and the workshop was therefore enhanced with readings of locally created poetry and extracts from plays.. Both Johanne and Kurt have been active working with local communities to think about critical commemoration and creative practice.

Results and Impact	This was a one-day historical research workshop held at the University of Portsmouth library. A combination of members from the project's collaborating organisations (Portsmouth Temple of Spiritualism and University of Portsmouth), and a few members of the general public explored a range of online archives relating to Spiritualism in and immediately after the First World War. The day event started with participants being given an outline of the project and training in the use of online archives (mainly a range of newspaper databases in this session). We then went through a generic sheet for recording information and a list of suggested search terms. Database 'hits' were then examined and, where appropriate, details recorded on the record sheet. The atmosphere throughout the day was kept informal. Despite the relatively small number of participants on this occasion, we managed to generate a lot of information and research leads in one day. The workshop ended with time for all participants to express their views on the material they had gathered, the insights it suggested, and the skills they had developed through the day's activities.

Form Of Engagement Activity	A formal working group, expert panel or dialogue
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact	Collaboratively produced leaflet summarising Lessons Learnt from the FWW Engagement Centre programme: KEY POLICY STATEMENT FOR MAKERS Heritage is a major resource for empowering communities. In a rapidly changing, globalised world, heritage can foster a sense of identity, security and belonging. Innovative research and community partnerships can address contested heritage and strengthen human connections across time and place. A collaborative model of heritage has potential to shape new policies and practice, creating more resilient communities for the future. Universities have a key role to play in bringing people together to commemorate events of national significance. They are uniquely placed to connect academic and public knowledge of the past, enabling diverse communities to tell their own stories of belonging and contribution. Universities can facilitate processes that develop and share new understandings, that sustain an inclusive, rigorous, rich heritage, and that respond to the challenge of divisive and uncomfortable histories. FIRST WORLD WAR ENGAGEMENT CENTRES: BROADER LESSONS LEARNT • Collaborative work around history and heritage encourages people to explore new stories relevant to their own lives and experiences. It opens spaces for alternative voices to be heard, creating multi-layered stories. • Operating across the UK can bring different stories into focus and enable discussion of contested and uncomfortable pasts. In aiming at a more inclusive heritage, including new shared histories, collaborative research has the potential to challenge received narratives. It can incorporate broader global perspectives. • A sense of place and the local are critical to many community participatory projects. Place-based institutions can contribute significant expertise. If universities are to fulfil their civic responsibilities and meet the needs of local communities, relationships must be sustained. • Partnerships between universities, cultural organisations and community groups initiate challenging conversations and dialogue. Productive research collaboration requires clear agreed agendas, open exchange and a sense of everyone being an equal stakeholder. • By devolving research funding to a series of multi-institution hubs it has proved possible to create a structure which facilitates innovation and responsive community engagement. This model promotes wider understanding and appreciation of what can best be characterised as 'hidden histories'.

Results and Impact	In close collaboration with colleagues from the Herts at War project, we hosted and mentored two Year 10 students on a week's placement in the Everyday Lives in War Centre at the University of Hertfordshire. Both students were based at the de Havilland Campus and worked with Herts at War and Anna Hammerin of Everyday Lives in War, by undertaking various historical tasks relating to the story of Hertfordshire in the Great War. This primarily involved online and computer-based research but also involved (with parental and school permission) off-site visits to photograph historic collections in the local area. All work was supervised and training was carried out before undertaking each task. The two young students were also given the opportunity to research some local WW1 servicemen and prepared a film based on their research for both our and Herts at War websites. Both students enjoyed an interesting and fulfilling week, and their feedback was very positive and indicative of a desired future in a related research field.

Geographic Reach	Regional
Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	Historic England and AHRC Care for the Future presented a day of thinking, talking, and exploring the complexity of memorials, understanding and debate around historical figures and events. Bringing together academics, museum and heritage sector professionals, and artists, this exploration of Britain's contested heritage will look at how the past is interpreted and displayed in public spaces and cultural institutions. The day drew on conversations already seeking to address Bristol's past, including the renaming of Colston Hall; Bristol Old Vic, Ujima Radio, and the Bristol Evening Post's City Conversations; and the Diaspora Season of Arts and Understanding, led by artist and Bristol's Lord Mayor, Cleo Lake. Dr Fedorowich presented a paper on the role of the Canadian Forestry Corps, a little-known force which totalled 33,000 by war's end and made an invaluable contribution in providing timber to the war effort. A multi-ethnic force, little is known of its activities in the UK and France.

However, the segment has been handed over by the film-makers (History Hit) to the Everyday Lives in War Centre in view of the Centre's specific research interests into WW1 basketry and dedicated collaborative project, and is currently undergoing an editing process and will be shared on the Centre's legacy website in due course.

Results and Impact	A WW1-themed performance stemming out of the Centre's collaborative project with Royal Northern College of Music (Mrs Barbara Kelly): 'Making Music in Manchester during World War 1' in collaboration with Harry Watson Music Library, Manchester. 'Juliet the Moon' is based on letters sent between Frank Merrick, pianist and tutor at the RNCM, and his wife Hope Squires throughout Merrick's imprisonment during WWI for being an opponent to the war effort, which provided the inspiration for this unique evening of music at Central Library, as part of Manchester After Hours 2017. RNCM composers Philippos Rousiamanis and Deane Smith wrote two new works specially for the library's Reading Room, which were performed by an ensemble of singers and cellists, with singing glasses. Exploring themes of loss and intimacy, the two pieces were performed independently and then gradually combined as the evening progresses. There was also a display of letters, programmes, articles and other materials uncovered during the RNCM's research into Manchester's musical life in the First World War.

Many members of the audience asked questions and made comments afterwards, revealing they had had little knowledge of life in Germany in the Great War - they were more aware of life in Germany from the 1930s onwards - and showing their interest to learn more. The purpose of the presentation was two-fold: to introduce the audience to the photographs of Käthe Buchler and to bring an awareness of life on the German Home Front, 1914-1918 to an audience with very close ties to Germany.

Results and Impact	This first of five cross AHRC Centre festivals on the theme of "Diversity" offered a wonderful array of talks, workshops and films, and a stunning live performance arts programme, presenting a number of untold WWl narratives to a wider audience with a focus on BAME stories and conscientious objection. We were delighted to be joined by some of the projects that our Centre has worked with, including Museumand (the National Caribbean Heritage Museum), which launched its 'Caribbean Home Fires' film made with the support of our Centre. The Centres also held a joint first Policy Breakfast on the Friday morning, with over 40 attending from the funding, cultural, policy and university sectors, to discuss lessons from the centenary and the potential of collaborative working (see separate entry). The Friday evening culminated with a new piece by the jazz musician, Soweto Kinch, based on the First World War - which incorporated the 1919 race riots. Around 200 people from the community registered for the event and there were 250 people counted through the doors of the main theatre on Saturday to see the displays and experience the virtual-reality recreated scenarios. The dynamic festival provided a great networking forum and meeting of minds, and resulted in new potential project partnerships going forward.

Results and Impact	The third of our cross AHRC Centre festivals took place in Cardiff, which was dedicated to reflecting on public history and heritage with a focus on heritage, community and opportunity. The festival involved community organisers, heritage and creative workers, academics, local historians, and members of the public. It explored the different types of collaborative work that has been done around WW1 subjects since 2014, and engaged participants in thinking about future/potential collaborations and how community organisations and academics can continue working together to explore all aspects of the past. Day 1 was set in the Cardiff West Community High School and started with a policy breakfast on the theme of 'Heritage, Community and Opportunity'. Facilitated by a local artist, the event brought together pupils, parents and policy makers - including the Welsh First Minister, Mr Mark Drakeford - who engaged in an equal and mutually balanced debate by exploring a wide range of options for widening participation and advancement to higher education through heritage. The first festival day concluded in Cardiff's Temple of Peace with a fantastic evening programme of dance and song performances by pupils from Cardiff West Community High School, as well as Annapurna Dance Company who performed highlights from their HLF-funded project, 'Soldiers of the Empire'. Day 2 took place in the Wales Millennium Centre, where an impressive programme of panel discussions, informal workshops and film screenings provided an informal and friendly forum for stimulating conversations around co-produced knowledge and critical responses to history and heritage. Highlights of event can be found via the very active Twitter feed from the two-day event, search hashtag: #CardiffVoices.

Results and Impact	The festival held at the Glasgow Women's Library on August 30 & 31 was dedicated to reflecting on public history and heritage with a focus on women's experience of war, exploring the different types of collaborative work that has been done around WW1 subjects since 2014. The event also allowed us the opportunity to consider future/potential collaborations and how community organisations and academics can continue working together to explore all aspects of the past. The festival enabled participants and attendees to better understand the challenges and opportunities of collaborative work around history, heritage and commemoration. A series of panel discussions, informal workshops, film screenings, and performances provided an informal and friendly forum for stimulating conversations around co-produced knowledge and critical responses to history and heritage. We were delighted to be joined by community organisers, heritage and creative workers, academics, local historians, and members of the public. We also enjoyed a separate evening event on 30 August at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, which focussed on live performances and the screening of short films. The University of Glasgow WW1 Commemoration Group performed the Women's Peace Crusade song and showed some short films from their 'Words of WW1' project, which dramatised a series of war poems from a variety of female authors. Singer, composer and performer Louise Jordan shared songs she has written in response to women's contributions to the First World War. Since touring her project 'No Petticoats Here' about extraordinary women of the First World War, Louise has been commissioned by UK Parliament's Vote100 project to respond to the impact of women's FWW on the Representation of the People Act and by Dreadnought South West to develop lyrics around their Rebellious Sounds Archive of contemporary activism. Louise has also led National Lottery Heritage Funded projects supporting young songwriters to engage with local archives and write their own original songs about women's First World War experiences. During the performance, Louise invited us to sing along with her and to share our own thoughts about the ways music and the arts can help public engagement with heritage, through her interactive mind-mapping activity. The event also included the premiere of Versailles 1919: Return of the Dangerous Women, a new film which focuses on the International group of anti-war women who met in Zurich in 1919 while negotiations of the Versailles Peace treaty were underway. These women had first met during the campaign to win women the right to vote and had subsequently united at the Hague in 1915 in attempt to end the Great War. By 1919 many women across Europe could vote: now this group of campaigners urged women to use their newly-won right to vote for peace. Directed by Charlotte Bill, Versailles 1919 was made by Clapham Film Unit and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. Funded by the European Commission, the film can be seen as the third part in a trilogy tracing the activities of women who fought for peace and suffrage.

Primary Audience	Study participants or study members
Results and Impact	The event in London on 7 November was the last of the Legacies of the First World War Festival series, which was dedicated to reflecting on public history and heritage and on demonstrating the value of heritage in bringing communities together. We were delighted to be joined by community organisers, heritage and creative workers, academics, local historians, and members of the public. The event showcased the capabilities of UK Universities as world leaders in public engagement research, particularly their role in place-making and connecting local and global knowledge. In responding to divisive and uncomfortable pasts, university-community partnerships can empower diverse communities to tell their own stories of presence, belonging and contribution. At the event, we shared outputs and learnings from the WW1 Engagement Centres who have supported a wide range of community engagement activities across the UK since 2014, connecting academic and public histories of the First World War as part of the commemoration of the War's centenary. The event enabled participants and attendees to better understand the challenges and opportunities of collaborative work around history, heritage and commemoration. A series of panel discussions, workshops, films and performances provided an informal and friendly forum for stimulating conversations around co-produced knowledge and critical responses to history and heritage. The event also provided a forum for further discussion on the recently published DCMS report on 'Lessons from the First World War Centenary' which references the Centres. The day concluded with Why Remember? - an intriguing film screening and panel discussion with Jenny Kidd, Joanne Sayner, Megan Gooch, Karen Brookfield and Nigel Hinds, which raised some important questions for anyone working on First World War Centenary projects. An amazing infographic was created by graphic artist Federica Ciotti during the discussions, which captured the many and wonderful creative and reflecting minds of the day.

Results and Impact	The small collaboration research grant on POWs in South Lincolnshire recently exhibited their findings at an event hosted by the local golf course (Sutton Bridge Golf Club, Spalding). The exhibition was organised by leading members of the CBPR community partner group, the Long Sutton and District Civic Society and was successfully attended by over 150 members of the public. Three members of the academic research team travelled from Lincoln to the Norfolk border in South Lincolnshire for the event. The findings and primary source materials were displayed as a series of posters and a full colour pamphlet was distributed. Public comments and feedback on the event were overwhelmingly positive, with many taking the opportunity to engage in discussion about the research process with members of the team and the Civic Society, sharing stories of their own family history and knowledge about local home front life during the First World War. Additionally, the event included a guided tour of the golf course grounds that encompass some of the key structures related to both First and Second World War heritage connected with the local area. This incorporated the warehouse of the former docks in which, the team believes, the POWs were billeted. The exhibition was considered so successful that the Civic Society voiced the intention to repeat the poster exhibition at a subsequent public engagement event at the local Parish Council.

Results and Impact	In 2017-8, two students from the University of Hertfordshire did volunteer placements with the Museum as part of their undergraduate programme. They contributed to development of the WW1 exhibition in 2018. The Museum curator invited further student involvement in 2018, with one additional student introducing ELIW research on everyday life to her work at the Museum. (Julie Moore). Julie Moore also reports a meeting with the curator on 11th October 2018: At that meeting we discussed ideas for her to use at community events and suggested that from previous experience at open days she might want to have somebody there who could identify military aspects from photos and medals which people were bound to bring in. Also suggested an item on food as an ice-breaker - printing off some recipes, perhaps having some food made to taste, sort of thing. I also offered to go along and do a spot on food if she thought helpful. In view of the number of 'alien' workers in the district glasshouses at the time I also suggested a 1911 map to locate them in terms of the census. Also a talking wall for memories and questions on post-it notes, I followed up by sending her • the email address for the County at War dvd to have showing in background • email contact for the Scouting aspect • some of the recipes we used for our Food in Wartime event • ELIW Mike Roper's sheet on interviewing families • repeated offer to help at any community event

Results and Impact	Owen Davies and his team of basketmakers - as part of the Basketry Then and Now project - have produced a film titled 'The Sopwell Camel Seat' - which has been published on the https://everydaylivesinwar.herts.ac.uk/ website.  First World War aircraft were extremely flimsy and it was essential to save weight wherever possible to prevent the planes breaking up in flight. To this end, basketwork seats were used as they were both light and strong. This short film follows Tony Dyer, a flight test engineer, as he builds a replica First World War Sopwith Camel aeroplane cockpit to house an original compass which belonged to his grandfather. Tony is joined by basketmaker Tim Palmer, who makes a seat for him, and basketry researcher Bunty Ball who explains more about basketwork aeroplane seats.

Results and Impact	Owen Davies and his team of basketmakers - as part of the Basketry Then and Now project - have produced a film titled 'Willow Regrowth in Spring' - which has been published on the https://everydaylivesinwar.herts.ac.uk/ website.  A short time-lapse film showing the regrowth of willow in spring. It was shot over seven weeks between March and May 2017 at Rothamsted Research in Hertfordshire, home to the National Willow Collection. After coppicing in winter, the cut willow stools (stumps) re-sprout to produce multiple shoots. This vigorous regrowth allows biomass to rapidly accumulate. Depending on the willow species used, the stems can be used for basketmaking or as a source of renewable carbon for bioenergy and biofuels. The ability of the stools to regrow from repeated harvests for up to 25 years with minimal input makes them of interest due to their potential to reduce carbon emissions.

The newspaper was delighted to learn that the efforts of their resourceful, local women a century ago were starting to receive international attention - as these women's actions led to mass demonstrations across Sweden during 1917-1918, and ultimately to the decision by the Swedish Parliament in December 1918 to grant women the right to vote.

Results and Impact	This was a one-day conference organised by the Devon History Society, featuring participants in the research activity undertaken as part of the AHRC First World War Hub on 'Everyday Lives During the First World War'. This had culminated in a 100-page booklet in which contributors wrote 1,000-word essays. However a number of the participants wanted to develop these into longer pierces of the research. They presented their findings at this one-day conference for Devon History Society members, and the general public, and then wrote these up into a special issue of 'The Devon Historian' (volume 86, 2017), published in Sept. 2017. The aim of this event was to enable participants to develop their research, and to present a range of new source materials to the members of the Devon History Society, particularly sources in the National Archives that were unfamiliar to researchers more familiar with the county archive collections. Responses collected on the day included: Fishing industry. Lots of facts and figures I was not aware of Yes, much better informed - also learned significantly about the disparate nature of Devon agriculture during the period in question Surprise that yields did not increase during the war Yes. The fishing industry in WWI The day offered a very vivid account of life in the Devon countryside 100 years ago. Certainly I respect the hard labour required of farm labourers, men or women I understand more about the changing role of women at this time Yes - food production Think it was a very involving day. Good balance of the overview and the personal story of experiences I am interested to know more about how Britain could be able to become more self-sufficient and rely less on imports especially fruit and vegetables The state of Britain in 1917 was more serious than I realised

Results and Impact	On 26-28 July 2019, members of our Everyday Lives in War team had the great opportunity to participate in a workshop on 'Food in Wartime: An International Perspective on Food Supply in World War I' in Düsseldorf, Germany. The event built on a 'Food in Wartime, 1914-1920' event held in Hatfield, UK, the previous year, hosted by the Everyday Lives in War Centre. Together with participants from Belgium, France, Italy, Sweden, Germany and the UK, we were able to share and compare fascinating stories from the Great War and its aftermath, including stories from war-faring, occupied and neutral countries of the time - where food, and especially food deprivation, was a common denominator. On the final day, we were invited to attend the opening of an exhibition on the history of sweets in the nearby town of Neuss. The exhibition had been co-organised by Prof Dr Margrit Schulte Beerbühl (Professor of Modern History of the University of Düsseldorf), who was also our host and organiser of the Food in Wartime conference.

The meeting was granted CPF accreditation by BOA for 3 points. Project lead invited to contribute by event organiser, Dr Rajan Natarajan - Trauma and Orthopaedics, Northampton General Hospital. Questions and discussion afterwards, with verbal positive feedback. Organiser highlighted verbally to project lead that it was a reminder of how things had changed significantly for those working in orthopaedic medicine, as they (fortunately) rarely see many of the conditions and complications which significantly affected the everyday lives of the population of Northampton just 100 years ago, and would have been part of the daily experience of their predecessors. One attendee (Cambridgeshire) subsequently emailed project lead to say thank for "the extremely interesting talk", and pass on a medical textbook recommendation.

Results and Impact	"Too Racey For Its Time!" That was the general consensus regarding the First World War play, "But It Still Goes On" by Robert Graves (author of "I, Claudius"), which explores themes of adultery, homosexuality, lesbianism, gender politics, casual sex, and inter-generational conflict -- with a surreal dark twist. Dr Andrew Maunder of the Everyday Lives in War Centre has produced and breathed new life into this recently rediscovered, never previously performed play. The play had its long overdue world premiere at the Finborough Theatre in London on 10 July for a 4-week run. The play and its excellent cast received raving reviews - including: "Fascinating" - The Times "Beautifully played by Sophie Ward and Victor Gardener" - The Stage "An intriguing rediscover... Boldly ahead of what was publicly acceptable then" - British Theatre Guide "Something of a coup for the tiny Finborough Theatre" - Broadway World "The performances are tip top" - Curtain Up "Worthy addition to plays about the war and most importantly, about interwar homosexuality" - Reviews Hub ????? "Alan Cox delivers a powerful performance... Sophie Ward is a tour de force" - Diva ???? "A strong committed cast... an entertaining evening" - The Spy in the Stalls ????

Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	As part of the Centre's interest in First World War theatre, our Centre team member Andrew Maunder is working with the Finborough Theatre, London, on a production of St John Ervine's play Jane Clegg. First produced in 1913 at Manchester's famous repertory theatre run by Annie Horniman, the play was very popular and was performed throughout the War in theatres all over Britain. It subsequently opened in New York in 1920 and returned to the West End in 1922 and 1929. Written at the height of the campaign for women's suffrage (St John Ervine was standing next to Emily Davison on Derby Day 1913 when she ran in front of the King's horse), Jane Clegg was compared to Ibsen's A Doll's House in its depiction of a woman trapped in an unsatisfactory marriage. Its lower-middle class setting also suggests the influence of the Manchester playwrights Harold Brighouse (Hobson's Choice), Allan Monkhouse and Stanley Houghton who sought to depict the lives of "ordinary" people. Faced with an unfaithful husband, Henry, a travelling salesman who is also an embezzler, Jane knows he is not worthy of her or their children, but she is not in a position to leave. The continued popularity of the play during 1914-18 suggests perhaps that her dilemma continued to strike a chord with audiences. St John Ervine (1883-1971) served in the 1st Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers up to point when he was hit by a shell in May 1918 and his leg had to be amputated. His professional success in the 1920s did little to compensate him for what he described as the "torture" of a badly-fitting artificial limb. He wrote scathingly in the 1920s and 1930s of the way which (as he saw it) the War was prolonged unnecessarily. Jane Clegg runs at the Finborough Theatre, London, 23 April - 18 May 2019.

The exhibitions had just opened and dealt with Devon Voices during the First World War and the Canadians in Devon, 1916-1919. The exhibition opened on 15 September 2018 and ran until 6 January 2019. Dr Fedorowich, who was on the steering committee for both exhibitions and provided historical consultancy and research expertise, was asked to explore the role of Lord Beaverbrook in publicising and propagandising Canada's contribution to the First World War. The exhibition of Canadian war photography had first visited Exeter in late 1918; the 2018 exhibition was to commemorate that exhibition which coincided with the 100th anniversary of the Armistice.

Results and Impact	An audience of c. 45 people attended a free public event at the Literary & Philosophical Society of Newcastle upon Tyne. Taking place on 7 October, we presented findings from our World War One Engagement Centre project 'British Ex-Service Students and the Rebuilding of Europe, 1919-1926'. The event featured an introduction by the academic project leads (Daniel Laqua, Northumbria University; Georgina Brewis, UCL Institute of Education), as well as a conclusion by Mike Day (NUS Director of Devolved Nations and Internationalism) who represented one of the project's two community partners, the National Union of Students. The main part of the event consisted of 3 talks (c. 20 minutes each) relating to the project: - Dr Tomás Irish (Lecturer in Modern History at Swansea University and a member of the project's advisory board) discussed 'British Universities at War, 1914-1925' - Dr Sarah Hellawell (the Northumbria University-based Research Associate for our projec) spoke about 'Students in North East England and the Promotion of an International Community'. - Dr Jude Murphy and Nigel Todd (representing our second community partner, the Workers' Educational Association) tackled the subject of 'Post-War Reconstruction and Reconciliation in North East Adult Education'. Each presentation was followed by discussion with the audience. During a coffee break, audience members also had the opportunity to view a pop-up exhibition that had been prepared as part of the event.

Results and Impact	Pop-up display stalls on health and medicine in early 20th century Northampton. These were displayed in different versions and formats in the Carnegie Room Northampton Library (15th and 16th December) and Abington Park Museum entrance (16th December). These were originally scheduled for one week earlier but had to be postponed due to poor weather conditions. Visitors were very interested but their numbers were limited due to unexpectedly poor weather conditions and their affect on Northampton over the two affected weekends. The museum service have reported that they wish to work in future with the project lead, who will present for the museum at a later date as part of their First World War centenary count-down entitled "100 Objects" - an advanced preview of the publicity can be provided for reporting purposes with the permission of the museum.

Results and Impact	A six-week long exhibit was mounted within a space devoted to community activities at a museum dedicated to Cambridge and Cambridgeshire history and heritage. The event, which also served to showcase the project's Barnwell at War publication, was well publicised in the county and was launched with a talk outlining the research project's aims and detailing some of its findings. The launch was attended by descendants of one of the people mentioned in the book, as well as by heritage and museum professionals, local and social historians, academics and other interested parties. The exhibit's aim was to illustrate the findings of the research project, which examined the everyday lives of working-class east Cambridge during WWI. It used contemporary objects - some collected during the research, some loaned by the museum - interpretation boards and an audio background of WWI-era music. Although it is not possible to state visitor numbers with precision or suggest where visitors came from, as the museum does not have such technology, anecdotal evidence suggests that the exhibit attracted good numbers of visitors and may have resulted in raising the museum's total visitor count. The project group is aware of visits made by school groups. Feedback was extremely positive.

Results and Impact	This was a second one-day historical research workshop held at the University of Portsmouth library. Steered by the leads from the collaborating organisations (Portsmouth Temple of Spiritualism and University of Portsmouth), a mixture of local Spiritualists, postgraduate students and members of the general public explored a range of online archives relating to Spiritualism in and immediately after the First World War. The day event started with participants being given an outline of the project and training in the use of online archives (a range of newspaper databases and also other specialist packages such as the Adam Matthew 'First World War' database). We also then went through a generic sheet for recording information and a list of suggested search terms. Database 'hits' were then examined and, where appropriate, details recorded on the record sheet. The atmosphere throughout the day was kept informal. As in the first library workshop, this session generated a considerable amount of information in a single event. The workshop ended with time for all participants to express their views on the material they had gathered, the insights it suggested, and the skills they had developed through the day's activities.

Results and Impact	Prof Karen Hunt reports on a Staffordshire Appeals 1916-18 Study Day, held in Stafford. 5 volunteers on the project gave confident and engaging individual presentations about research they had undertaken for the project. There were also comparative contributions reflecting on what could be learnt from surviving papers from other Tribunals and from similar community projects. Scholars of the home front from postgraduates to Prof Adrian Gregory also presented their reflections on the value of making these papers accessible, while Prof Hunt's presentation showed how the Staffordshire Appeals papers could be used to reveal new stories of everyday life on the home front and so challenge the traditional narrative of the war. An exhibition produced by the Staffordshire Appeals project was also displayed to the public for the first time - it has been displayed at libraries across the county ever since. The day before Prof Hunt spoke at the launch of the Appeals Project exhibition 'Gone' at County Hall to an audience of local politicians, archivists from across the region and from TNA, as well as volunteers from the project. Prof Hunt's contribution explained the genesis of the project, underlining its distinctiveness and significance. Geographical reach was principally West Midlands, but some had come further, eg from Northampton. The audience included workers and volunteers from local museums, archives and community groups. The event allowed the volunteers to come together and to really appreciate one another's research, and many commented on the value of the project as a whole. One volunteer was subsequently interviewed on local radio about her experience on the project. Links between academics and community historians and volunteers were forged and reinforced. The event underlined the value of links between community projects and academic historians, particularly through shared recognition that reading against the grain in apparently unpromising sources can provide a vivid sense of the range of experiences on the home front, and can lead to fresh histories anchored in specific localities which can provide the basis for new narratives of the apparently familiar.

Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	Members of the public attended a workshop in T.P. Coffee House in Middlesbrough. The event opened with Dr Roisín Higgins asking the audience to shout out what they associated with various words such as 'empire', 'the trenches', 'poppy', 'rebel', 'insurrection' to get people to think about their instinctive views of certain historical events and ideas. Then Higgins gave a short presentation on commemorations of the Easter Rising and First World War and recent historiographical trends. The audience then split into groups and discussed topics such as Irish soldiers and the First World War; family stories of the First World War and Easter Rising and how/if these histories had shaped their identities and/or sense of Irishness. This was followed by a group-wide discussion and some participants shared photographs and stories of their Irish families and the First World War. IMPACT/FEEDBACK: Attendees were asked to fill out evaluations at the end of the event. They were asked: • What have your learnt this evening? • Have you changed your opinion about any aspect of history, memory or identity? Below are some responses: 'Real history isn't just about dates, battles and famous people etc, it's about ordinary people and their lives. There are more things that unite Irish people and those who live in the UK. We have so much in common it's only people with an agenda that can cause divisions. Irish and British people will always be linked by language, culture and history.' 'Reflection: The stories I heard were a reminder of the fluidity and fragility of allegiance and identity and how this can be seen in both the writing and events of history. We discussed the case of an Irish mutiny on board a British navy ship how people today can have both British and Irish antecedents and how this shapes both their identity and view of history. This leads me to think that a European approach to history is better than a more narrow 'Irish' 'British' approach.' 'I think I've learned to appreciate anew that there are two sides to every story. For example. I always thought that my grandad had left the R.I.C. in 1916 because of his sympathy for "the cause" but I found out that it may have been strongly suggested to him to leave!' 'Other people's interesting accounts that they have shared. My opinion has not changed as I have developed my own positive identity, history and memories.' 'The Irish diaspora is huge! Even in Teesside. Irish diaspora memories/memories of the British and Irish past are much more complex than I had imagined!' 'The history I was taught in school was taught from a British perspective. Little about Irish history.' 'I have enjoyed listening to everyone's experiences and have heard different perspectives from them.' 'I have really enjoyed the talk and discussion. I feel I have learned a lot from different perspectives ie. As a person of Irish descent I was interested to hear the perspective of someone who lived in Northern Ireland at the time of the Troubles.' Learned: 'To listen to both sides'. Changed view: 'Yes! The unfairness of the treatment of Irish soldiers who fought in WW1'. 'Really enjoyable discussions. Surprised at how many memories are just under the surface. Excellent introduction by Dr Higgins. Mhaith thu.' 'Learnt a lot tonight off a very knowledgeable lady Roisin. Music and food good making a very enjoyable night.'

Results and Impact	World War 1 is not a topic usually associated with humour, but since 2011, Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) has funded research led by the University of Lincoln to contribute to international engagement connected with the Centenary of the First World War. One of several projects led by Professor Jane Chapman studied over 750 forgotten cartoon strips. These appeared in trench newspapers and regimental journals across the world. In November 2017, around 150 people had the opportunity to share in this archive material in an event at the Chichester Festival, one of the UK's most well- established and leading annual arts festivals. A theatrical production of one of the most famous trench publications, 'The Wiper's Times', a satirical magazine, was followed by Professor Jane Chapman and Professor Ross Wilson's talk. This explored the importance of trench soldiers' newspapers, particularly focussing on the topics of humour and morale. The research leaders presented on the same stage and utilising the same scenery as the preceding play. This created an engaging atmosphere and space, where audience members were offered an immersive opportunity to see archive material and ask questions to the panellists about the influence of satire on life in the trenches. Feedback collected by Chichester Festival organisers indicated that the participants experienced changes in views and opinions, broadening their attitudes about the First World War as a result of the event.

Results and Impact	The Everyday Lives centre recently supported the fifth event organised by the War Through Other Stuff Society (WTOS), hosted by the National Army Museum. On July 17th, WTOS gathered heritage professionals, academics, and members of the public for an evening of museum gallery tours and a panel discussion. The subject: how is the history of war and conflict being interpreted and studied today in museums and academia, and what does the future hold for this field? The evening began with War Through Other Stuff-themed tours of the National Army Museum's 'Society' and 'Soldier' galleries, led by members of the WTOS team. All six members of the WTOS team had selected objects from the NAM's collections that highlighted different aspects of how conflict history can be understood through non-military narratives, including a trench sign, a jukebox of war-themed songs, and a straightjacket. Following the tours, there was a panel discussion and Q&A. Chaired by WTOS academic advisor Dr. Catherine Baker (Hull), the speakers were Dr. Melissa Bennett (Museum of London), Jasdeep Singh (National Army Museum), Dr. Iain Banks (University of Glasgow), Dr. Victoria Basham (Cardiff University), and Mark Butterfield (Leeds Beckett University). One of the key points that emerged was that the terms 'war', 'other', and 'stuff' all have a variety of definitions, perhaps requiring further precision. Overall it was a fascinating discussion with lots of promise for the future of the field. The Everyday Lives in War Centre's support of this event helped contribute to the WTOS' goal of facilitating and broadening discussions about how conflict history is understood. We understand there is already plans for a follow-on event in the pipeline.

Description	Witnessing War (reported by Sarah Lloyd)
Form Of Engagement Activity	Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme?	No
Geographic Reach	International
Primary Audience	Postgraduate students
Results and Impact	'Witnessing War' was a one-day workshop that took shape in response to the Buchler exhibition. In aiming to address a series of questions, it placed this specific FWW history into bigger chronological and thematic contexts. Who witnesses war? From what perspective? How do they capture it? War is not only witnessed by those who choose to participate, but has lasting and significant impact on lives of many. The workshop focused on first-hand experiences of conflict, with no restraints as to time period or geographic location. From medieval annals written by monks, to children's diaries, documentary film, and the use of social media in modern conflict, there are many different ways to witness war. Speakers drew on a range of academic and personal experience, including Jenny Matthews on practising journalism from war zones. The Buchler photographs provided a focal point for the day, including a tour of the Hatfield exhibition with the curator, Matthew Shaul. The workshop was a collaboration between the War Through Other Stuff Society, First World War Network, and Everyday Lives of War. It aimed to create a supportive and stimulating environment for Early Career Researchers. Among the outcomes were a request from one PhD student for Buchler material to include in her PhD research, plans for further collaboration with War Through Other Stuff, engagement with participants with their own experiences of 'witnessing war'.

Geographic Reach	National
Primary Audience	Public/other audiences
Results and Impact	Together with our project partner NUS, we prepared the launch of a series of papers in the history of students and the student movement. The papers themselves will be freely accessible on the NUS website and will form part of the activity in the run-up to the organisation's centenary. In 2017/2018, the preparation involved working with members of the future editorial board and a graphic designer. The low number in the 'people reached' section reflects the fact that the papers themselves will be published in the future. Once is this the case, the potential audience will expand significantly.

Primary Audience	Postgraduate students
Results and Impact	On 24 November 2017, we held a half-day workshop at Macadam House, the London offices of the National Union of Students (NUS). The event was conceived as a workshop for students and activists. The event explored student contributions to peace, refugee aid and anti-racism. Academics from the World War One Engagement project 'British Ex-Service Students and the Rebuilding of Europe, 1919-1926' gave presentations on historical examples of student activism: principal investigator Daniel Laqua (Northumbria University) discussed peace activism; co-investigator Georgina Brewis (UCL Institute of Education) dealt with refugee aid; and advisory board member Jodi Burkett (Portsmouth University) focused on student involvement in anti-racist campaigns. These historical case studies were conceived as a way for sparking discussions about contemporary challenges and issues. The main focus of the event was on dialogue: each of these presentations was followed by small-group discussions with the participants, most of whom were undergraduate students. The event was organised in cooperation with the NUS. The attempt to make a connection between past and present student activism was underlined by the involvement of the NUS Vice President (Welfare), Izzy Lenga, who opened the event and contributed to discussions with the participants.
