I just wanted to let you know about the upcoming editorial series on the First World War, running for a week from this Saturday in the Guardian and Observer.

The Guardian has put together a highly collectable, seven-day series of 32-page, full-colour booklets to give readers a unique "eyewitness" history of the war, with an extraordinary array of extracts from writers and poets including Ernest Hemingway, DH Lawrence, HG Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, Winston Churchill and many more.

There is also a wonderful selection of war photography and paintings each day, plus an introductory essay from a contemporary expert on the war.

Thank you so much for the link.
I look forward to reading them all, especially Lawrence, TS Elliot and HG Wells.

The series is in fact very disappointing and teachers will find it difficult to make use of the material in the classroom. You will be better off using resources that have been produced for the classroom.
