Private Peaceful

Private PeacefulGet QuoteGet Quote

Michael Morpurgo's hugely successful novel tells the moving story of Thomas Peaceful, and has become a popular way of delivering the topic of the Great War to younger pupils.

Anglia's landmark tour traces the story of the characters in Morpurgo's book, exploring the issues of life and conditions in the trenches around Ypres, and the controversial subject of British military executions.

Highlights include visits to the Death Cells and Firing Posts in Poperinghe, and the headstone of the real Private Peaceful at Bedford House Cemetery, which is thought to have provided the name for Morpurgo's character.
