Leicester At War 1914 - 1915

To commemorate the outbreak of the First World War in 2014, this exhibition will take original artefacts, art works, photographs, documents, diaries and newspapers to tell the story of life in the early years of the war both on the home front as well as the battle front. Discover how Leicester first reacted to the outbreak of war then how it mobilized and started its local recruitment campaigns. Find out too what life would have been like for the women and children left behind and those who supported the war effort in local factories. The Royal Leicestershire Regiment Association has secured a grant of £80,500 from the Heritage Lottery Fund to run the four-year programme of events in conjunction with Leicester Arts & Museums Service.
