This website has been designed to help you discover something about the technology of warfare, and how it affected people's lives, in the First World War and after. The information provided is principally a resource for schools to assist in their studies of Trench warfare in the First World War, and has been put together by the Regimental Museum of the Green Howards.
The Green Howards Museum has been active in telling local schoolchildren about the First World War, partly though the story of Private William Oliver Watson of the 6th Yorkshire Regiment, The Green Howards.

Much of the material on this website will supplement the information provided by the Museum on their regular "Walking With Ghosts" lecture and resource box visits to schools in the Richmond, North Yorkshire, area. The resource box contains handling materials, lecture notes, lesson plans (linked to Key Stage 3) and is available for loans to schools in the Richmond and North Yorkshire area.
The Regimental Museum of the Green Howards is extremely grateful to Creative Minds, for sponsoring this website.
On this website you will be able see and compare some of the equipment that was used, - such as the tanks, ships, aircraft, field equipment, weaponry, and uniforms. You will be able to find out who invented the equipment, who used it, who made it, and how some of the technology of the time relates to the present day.
We will, of course, be telling you much about the people of the time and how the First World War affected them, - especially with respect to a soldier of the Yorkshire Regiment who was killed in the conflict.
Above all, we hope that you will find much to interest you on this website, and we hope that you will be telling US something about what you have learnt.
