At the outbreak of war all armies fought with weapons designed in the 1880s
and virtually no armour. Commanders on all sides were ill-prepared for the
sheer scale of the war ahead, and although the stagnation of the Western Front drove innovation, the core tools available to the infantry soldier did not change significantly throughout the conflict.
Learn how Victorian technology was adapted to suit the tactics of this ‘modern’ warfare and get hands on with the deadly machines of the most destructive conflict in history.
