War Graves Commission
Answer the questions.
1. How many ‘hits’ did you get?
2. How did you feel when you were reading the information about the people who died?
3. Pick one solider and look carefully at the information about him. Make a note of who he left behind and any other interesting information.
Task 4.
How do we count the cost of the Great War? Does it matter which country lost the most young men, or is each individual death equally important, regardless of nationality? Write a paragraph answering this question, and explaining what you have learnt this lesson.
Before you print your work, go back and delete all instructions, so that all you are left with is the questions plus your answers and work. When you have done this and spell-checked your work, you can ask permission to print!
