Battlefields toolkit launched

November is the month in which we remember those who have fought in conflicts around the world, and this tradition began on 11 November 1919, 100 years ago. That day was the first anniversary of the Armistice, the moment the First World War ended at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918.

We are launching our Battlefields toolkit this month in memory of that first Remembrance Day. The toolkit contains six itineraries focusing on the historic sites of both World Wars across Europe. Many of the key battle sites and historical locations now contain museums, memorials, cemeteries and educational activities designed to help modern generations learn about the terrible events, the acts of human bravery and the development of technology that came out of the wars.
