Event: Birmingham Children of War

Saturday 11^th March 1.30 – 4.30pm
Library of Birmingham

Ever wondered what it might have been like as a child living through the First World War? This Friends of Birmingham Archives & Heritage (FoBAH) project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, has been exploring the lives of children and young people in Birmingham during the 1914-18 War. Project volunteers will be sharing their findings on themes such as education, health, nursery provision, youth justice, scouts & other uniformed organisations, and Belgian refugees.

Suitable for the whole family there will be archive material on display and mini-talks in the Wolfson Centre; a children’s trail starting from the Children’s Library (children must be accompanied), live music and craft activities on Level Four. Pick up your programme on the day.
