The feedback from pupils about the talk was overwhelmingly positive and we all enjoyed it. Once again, thank you for making the topic so interesting.

Medicine in the Trenches

“Thank you for a superb session. After a heavy morning of classes, it had to be something good to keep everyone’s attention. It was surprising how much some of them already knew about the trenches but you gave such detail and so graphically that it was all new. I’ve never seen a child so excited as when one of them worked out everything about your grandfather.

I hope we can arrange another talk before too long.”
