Here your pupils can discover at first hand the life of the ordinary soldier through handling of uniform and equipment. For those studying local history, we can build up a time line to take you from Victorian Aldershot to the present day. The session content can be negotiated during the course of your pre-visit.
Pupils can handle and investigate every day items from a Victorian household and school.
This session enables pupils to explore and discover collections related to life on the local Home Front, from rationing to evacuation and the blitz. This session uses objects and case studies from the local area to reveal and assess the human dimension to this conflict. We suggest that during the visit your pupils would enjoy discovering the local history gallery. The artefact and text displays tell the story of Aldershot, Farnborough and Cove. This painting provides an artist's impression of Aldershot after the Army had arrived.
