Armistice 100: The Beacon Museum's Armistice & Beyond exhibition

©ITV NEWS GROUP 2018 - COPYRIGHT REMAINS WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND IS USED FOR EDUCATIONAL & REFERENCE USE. To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the end of the First World War, the Beacon Museum has an autumn exhibition entitled “A Brave New World; the Armistice and Beyond”. Content for the displays was created by the museum in collaboration with The Whitehaven News, Cumbria Archive and Local Studies Centre, Whitehaven and the Friends of the Museum member Joseph Ritson. All have worked closely to bring to life the wartime experiences of local people whose extraordinary stories and intensely personal memories reveal the impact of the Great War. The diverse stories of individuals and families uncover both familiar and surprising accounts of a war that profoundly changed the West of Cumbria. Personal letters, diaries and artefacts show the love, excitement, fear, bravery, humour, grief, loss and longing that touched the lives of thousands throughout the area. Members of the public also had the opportunity to create their own recycled poppies during the autumn half term. Samantha Parker reports.
