By popular request the exhibition shown in August is being repeated, with some additional items.

This is a free exhibition of information and items relating to the First World War, contributed by members of the Heavitree community, including personal stories from families who were directly affected.

Here is a chance to find why soldiers were sometimes called Tommies, why a poppy for remembrance, why were some men given a white feather, what coat was developed for the trenches but is now a very fashionable garment.

See an example of trench art in the form of an engraved brass 18 pound shell case. See examples of the hand embroidered cards sent from troops in France. See a sample of the barbed wire so widely used in France. See a display of medals awarded. Hear the music of the day played on a traditional accordion..

Entrance is free, and the exhibition will be open from 10am to 4pm. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available for 50p.
