This building is a natural follow-on to
Building 8 (Battle of the Somme) and was opened in 2014 for the
100yr anniversary of the start of WW1.
The small cinema in the building has a graphic
and fairly rare film about the Battle of the Somme and the various
advance preparations that were made.
In addition to the film there is an assortment
of recruitment posters on the walls which, in themselves, make
interesting reading.
The time-line is extremely informative and is
spread out across three of the four walls. It covers the pre-war
period from December 1870 to 1907, the major events of the
1914-1918 war and finally the post-war period from November 1918
onward.
