1918 – an unexpected victory?

Andy engaged and entertained our students with a thought-provoking talk about medicine in the trenches. His presentation was perfect for the Medicine in the First World War unit of the Edexcel GCSE course. He brought a fascinating range of original and replica artefacts and it was wonderful to see out students respond so enthusiastically to Andy’s presentation. We will be asking him back and would not hesitate to recommend him to other schools.
