The Great War was fought by mass armies, utilising weapons which caused unprecedented damage to soldiers’ bodies. These weapons and the awful conditions in which men served, presented new challenges to the medical profession. In response, new ways of treating the wounded had to be found and new technologies developed.

For those studying Pearson Edexcel’s GCSE History Option 11: The British Sector of the Western Front 1914-18: Injuries, Treatment and the Trenches, Anglia is delighted to offer a tour which provides an engaging and relevant introduction to the warfare context and historical environment of Medicine on the Western Front. This tour will bring the topic alive for students, helping them to visualise the more physical problems of the environment in a way which a text book cannot.
