War Memorial Jackfield

I spotted this lovely little War Memorial opposite the Boat Inn Jackfield while out walking this past weekend and thought I would share it with you all. I think it is a great example of the fact that memorials do not have to be massive in order to be moving and effective.

First World War Poetry Digital Archive

http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ww1lit/

This is a great website created and maintained by the University of Oxford that includes digital collections of famous war poets such as Robert Graves and Shropshire's own Wilfred Owen. There are also some great teaching and education resources included on the site and it is well worth a visit whether you are just interested in WWI poetry or need some tips on how to teach pupils about it.

Pop up WWI Museum coming November to Southwater Library
