Our Museum Director shares updates of a visit to the Somme to plan out the route for our First World War ‘Battle Bus’ (B2737), which will be revisiting for the centenary of the Battle of the Somme in 2017.
Alongside the restoration and conservation of Battle Bus, we are running a learning and engagement programme, working with different groups of volunteers to investigate new perspectives of the Battle Bus. One of the perspectives explored is the experiences of women. Find out more in this blog by Vickie Pipe.
