The story of Lieutenant-Colonel Mosse launches First World War website

A new interactive website is offering a wealth of information about the First World War. 

Created by the National Army Museum, the First World War in Focus site includes a digital world map with geo-tagged events of the War, an interactive and searchable timeline, and downloadable learning packs on a range of topics. 

Also available is a narrative of the War told by real soldiers’ accounts from the time, including previously unseen photographs, diary entries and audio accounts. 

The timeline links to the museum’s online collection in a bid to highlight “real objects” related to the events of the conflict.

The website will also be releasing individual soldier’s stories every month originating from different countries. The first of these is an Indian army office and Military Cross recipient, Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Mosse, pictured above.
