Wycombe in World War 1

Until mid 2015

Step in to the reconstructed trench and imagine what life was like for a Tommy soldier or nurse on the front in World War 1. Enter if you dare, to hear the sounds of artillery, spot the trench terrors such as rats and flies and learn what you would need to help you survive.

The exhibition is suitable for all ages and levels of knowledge and includes a range of artefacts, each telling the story of a local individual or family. Discover what World War 1 meant for the men, women and children of Wycombe District: where were the training trenches built? what was Wycombe’s role in aircraft production? And much more.
