Collection: Remembrance Series | To commemorate the ninetieth anniversary of the Armistice, Imperial War Museum London is mounting a major exhibition that will look at the personal stories of those who lived, fought and died during the First World War, both overseas and on the home front. Featuring fascinating and previously unseen material, this exhibition will use the experiences of over 90 individual men, women, servicemen and civilians to illustrate the different aspects and key events of the Great War and its aftermath.
Their stories will be told through personal objects which include the wreath tossed into the car carrying Prime Minister David Lloyd George after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, the smashed aircraft windscreen of British flying ace James McCudden and a rosebud from the wreath that lay on the coffin of the Unknown Warrior.
