These sessions will examine the war through a balance of accepted historical narratives, official documents and personal family histories, offering a unique perspective on the soldiers' lives in the trenches. Members will reflect on the lasting impact of WWI, especially for those with relatives who endured the war. This exploration will highlight the enduring shadow of the conflict, which can still be felt in modern issues.  Required text: Some Desperate Glory, Edwin
