Voices From the Front

2014 work experience placements


In June and July 2014 the Fusilier museum was joined by 20 work experience students who researched and recorded the First World War experiences of Royal Fusiliers in 1914. They produced oral history recordings which are now available to museum visitors on the touch screen in our medal gallery and can be listened to here online. Each group produced a write up of their week which you can read below along with a link to their recordings.
