These tours are free to the public, but registration is required. We will discuss the 2018 documentary film,  They Shall Not Grow Old, directed and produced by Peter Jackson. It was created using footage of the First World War held by the British Imperial War Museum. These tours free and open to the public, and are appropriate for all ages. Please register here.
