One hundred years ago the war to end all wars began on 4th August 1914. The Great War as we all know had its roots in the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. (Pictured).
Within a few weeks Britain decided that the defence of Belgium’s sovereignty, when Germany crossed their borders to gain access to France, was a cause worth fighting for. For the next four years hundreds of thousands of men lost their lives, on all sides of the divide.
The Great War is a significant event in human history. This special page will contain entries that commemorate their sacrifices, and other links to websites about the World War I. This page will have links that provide information about the war and will be updated regularly.
